MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets)

Markets in Crypto-Assets is the EU’s comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto-assets, covering issuance, trading, custody, and exchange operations. Full enforcement has been live since December 2024, with a critical July 1, 2026 deadline for CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider) licensing — unlicensed operators must cease EU activities. MiCA also classifies stablecoins as either EMTs (e-money tokens) or ARTs (asset-referenced tokens) with distinct reserve and authorization requirements.
