EU THREATENS TO REGULATE MEV AS ‘MARKET ABUSE'

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

A draft of the EU's Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations describes MEV as a type of market abuse as it allows a validator to front-run transactions to make a profit. If passed, EU-based crypto organizations would be required to detect and report MEV. Two weeks ago, the U.S. Department of Justice appeared to distinguish between acceptable MEV and market abuse in an indictment over MEV bot fraud.
