As of June 30, 2025, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is now enforceable across all EU member states, marking a turning point for on-chain finance in Europe.
Why This Matters
MiCA:
- Applies to utility tokens and stablecoins
- Defines rules for services like custody, execution, and issuance
- Allows centralized actors (exchanges, brokers, custodians) to operate legally across the EU
- Complements (but doesn’t replace) financial and AML regulations
- Provides a clear framework for builders and institutions to engage with digital assets compliantly
