Since neither the parent of this comment nor its parent mention it explicitly- This article is about EVE Frontier, a different game from EVE Online. One of the main takeaways I had from the article is that CCP is planning for EVE Frontier's "RMT policy" (heavy scare quotes) to be the opposite of what most MMOs' (like POE or EVE Online) use. From the article (emphasis added): "...this is literally cryptocurrency we're talking about, isn't it? CCP is being characteristically libertarian about the whole thing, and says it won't regulate transactions between players inside or outside of the game. Want to buy a new car using your alliance's funbucks? Pétursson won't stop you... 'But we fortunately live in a world where consenting adults can do dangerous things' [says Pétursson]... Dangerous things like, you know, playing a game that's spinning up literal cryptocurrencies for which the devs won't (and perhaps can't) limit out-of-game transactions." (aside- as a currently-winning EVE Online player who enjoyed the spreadsheets more than the pewpew and who writes code to buy food, the new game sounds ambitious and amazing. I'll keep an eye on it.)
