Morpho Joins Stand With Crypto to Bolster EU Advocacy Efforts

Morpho, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol, has announced its decision to join Stand With Crypto, a prominent advocacy organization. The collaboration aims to strengthen support for crypto initiatives within the European Union, with Morpho's Head of Public Affairs, Fau Fleuret, leading the charge.

Paul Frambot, co-founder and CEO of Morpho, confirmed the move in a recent tweet, stating, "Morpho is joinning Stand With Crypto! It's time to support crypto in the EU and @faufleuret our Head of Public Affairs will be leading this effort at @Morpho! More to come!" This partnership signals Morpho's commitment to actively shaping the regulatory landscape for digital assets in Europe.

Stand With Crypto is a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to promoting responsible crypto policy and protecting the rights of crypto users and innovators. The organization engages with policymakers to foster an environment conducive to blockchain technology and digital assets. Its expansion into the EU underscores the growing importance of European regulations in the global crypto space.

Fau Fleuret, Morpho's Head of Public Affairs, will be central to this new initiative. Fleuret's role will involve engaging with European regulators and stakeholders to advocate for clear, innovation-friendly policies that support the growth and adoption of decentralized finance. This strategic move aligns with Morpho's broader efforts to ensure a sustainable future for DeFi.

Morpho, known for its innovative peer-to-peer lending layer that optimizes capital efficiency on top of existing DeFi protocols like Aave and Compound, has rapidly become a significant player in the DeFi ecosystem. With over $3.7 billion in total value locked and a recent partnership with Coinbase for Bitcoin-backed on-chain loans, Morpho's involvement brings substantial industry weight to Stand With Crypto's European advocacy. The collaboration is expected to contribute to a more informed and balanced regulatory dialogue in the EU.
