Markets in Crypto-Assets refers to the European Union’s comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets. Known as MiCA, this regulation aims to establish uniform rules for crypto-asset issuers and service providers across EU member states. It addresses consumer protection, market integrity, and financial stability concerns within the digital asset sector. MiCA provides legal clarity and harmonizes oversight for a range of crypto-assets, excluding those already covered by existing financial legislation.
