EU Single Rulebook

Definition ∞ The EU Single Rulebook represents a unified set of legislative and regulatory provisions governing financial services across all member states of the European Union. Its purpose is to ensure a consistent application of rules, thereby promoting a level playing field and enhancing financial stability within the bloc. In the context of digital assets, regulations like MiCA contribute to expanding this rulebook to cover new financial technologies. This framework aims to prevent regulatory arbitrage and foster market integrity.
Context ∞ The application of the EU Single Rulebook to digital assets is a central point of current regulatory discourse, particularly with the implementation of MiCA. Debates concern the precise scope and interpretation of these rules for novel crypto-asset services. The future will likely see further refinements and expansions of this rulebook to address emerging digital finance products and services, ensuring consumer protection and market stability.
