The EU have many member states therefore getting them all to agree on a single item is going to take time. Consensus within the easy can time.

It doesn't have to be that way, because about 70% of all decisions are made in the EU parliament, and then confirmed in national parliaments - and each country has a representative in the same parliament in relation to the number of inhabitants. This means that decisions are made by the largest countries such as Germany, France, Spain and Italy, the smaller countries mostly just adopt laws.

However, considering the existing and new regulations in the EU when it comes to cryptocurrencies, I am not at all optimistic that they will take the same position as the US in this matter.
