Law & Policy

SocialFi’s hybrid onchain/offchain architecture and wallet-based identity face strict regulations in the EU, moderate fragmentation in the US, and permissive frameworks in LATAM.

From user onboarding (KYC/AML) and data protection (GDPR) to crypto compliance (MiCAR/DORA) and bots oversight (AI Act).

Most influential accounts are considered de facto market disruptors under MiCAR, BaFin, and MiFID regulations within crypto-asset service providers such as Farcaster.

Unlike generic content media, SocialFi influencers may be required to conduct conflicts of interest and paid connections checks to protect followers.
