The new standard for regulation of crypto assets in the EU

The Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) is an important European regulation that aims to provide a uniform set of rules for the issuance and trading of crypto assets. These regulations are designed to ensure the transparency, security and stability of the crypto asset market and better protect consumers and investors from risks in this fast-growing sector. Read all about the MiCA legislation here.

If your organization is active in the crypto asset sector, complying with MiCA is not only mandatory, but also important for trust and growth. It shows that you are operating within a regulated and trusted environment. Not complying can have major consequences, such as:

• High fines: Non-compliance can result in significant financial penalties.
• Loss of trust: Customers and investors may lose confidence in companies that do not comply with regulations.
• Limited market access: MiCA provides a European passport that allows companies to operate in all EU countries. Without compliance, companies lose this access.

It is therefore important to comply with MiCA requirements and align your systems and processes accordingly.

‍

MiCA applies to:

• Crypto-asset issuers: Companies that issue tokens, stablecoins or other forms of digital assets.
• Crypto service providers: crypto asset trading platforms, wallet service providers, and companies offering custody services or advice related to crypto assets.
• Financial institutions: Banks and asset managers that include cryptoassets in their offerings.
