The EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA)
Adopted in spring 2023, the EU’s MiCA harmonises the approach to crypto-asset regulation in Europe and applies directly across 30 EU countries as of January 2025. To effectively access the EU crypto market, crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and issuers caught by MiCA must comply with the Regulation’s detailed standards and guidelines and all related legislation in Europe’s Digital Finance package.
