WHAT IS MICA?

MiCA is the EU new regulatory framework designed to bring legal clarity and standardization to the crypto industry. It sets out rules for the issuance, trading, and operation of crypto-assets, including requirements for stablecoins and crypto-asset service providers.

WHO DOES MICA APPLY TO? 

This Regulation applies to companies issuing, offering, or trading crypto-assets, or providing related services within the Union. Such parties include:

Crypto-asset service providers (CASP). Entities providing one or more crypto-asset services.

Legal entities or undertakings issuing crypto-assets.

Offerors. Entities (including issuers) offering crypto-assets to the public.

WHY COMPLIANCE IS IMPORTANT?

Complying with MiCA is crucial to access the EU market.
