MiCA

The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation — a directly applicable framework covering crypto-asset service providers, asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens, and market abuse.

Why it matters

MiCA’s transitional period for existing providers ended on 1 July 2026. Providers without CASP authorisation after that date must wind down. See our EU jurisdiction page.
