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.
What you can check
MiCA obligations differ by service and by whether a token is an asset-referenced token, an e-money token, or neither. The operative text is the regulation itself plus the technical standards under it, and the register of authorised firms is public.
Not advice. Definitions are for understanding, not instruction. Nothing here is financial, legal, tax or security advice.
