    What is MiCA?

    The Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) is a recently implemented regulation impacting EU based firms. The monumental vote set global standards by establishing a regulatory framework that covers crypto-assets, crypto-assets issuers, and crypto-asset service providers.

    MiCA defines crypto assets as digital representations of value or rights that may be transferred and stored electronically. According to MiCA, crypto assets can be grouped into three categories: Utility Tokens, Asset-Referenced Tokens (ARTs), and Electronic Money Tokens (EMTs).

    Who will face more stringent surveillance requirements when MiCA goes into effect?

    Firms trading EU issued crypto-assets
