Attitudes of Czech Political Parties on Crypto Assets
Kern, Lukáš ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Cirhan, Tomáš (referee)
The Czech Republic is going to approve the European-wide MiCA regulation, that regulates crypto assets in all member states of the European Union. So far, Czech political parties have not expressed their opinion toward crypto assets, even though there are many successful active companies within this sector in the Czech Republic. The main goal of this thesis is to find out the views of Czech political parties on the regulation of crypto assets and the MiCA. In order to achieve this goal, there were several in-depth interviews carried out with politicians and representatives of companies that do business in the crypto sector. Additionally, publicly available sources shared by the political subjects were examined. According to the gathered information, there is no political party, that addresses the topic of crypto assets thoroughly. However, there are individual politicians from parties ODS, TOP 09, ANO 2011, and Piráti, who devote their time to the topic of crypto assets, and they are aware of the main issues within the current solution. It is a question, whether they will find political support within their political parties to improve the local conditions and smooth implementation of MiCA regulation.

First, the important technical foundations of Decentralized Finance and their specifics were outlined, and relevant financial applications were established for further assessment. Subsequently, the applications were compared with the scope of the chosen Czech financial regulation, namely the Act on Payment System, the Act on Currency...
