MiCA Alignment refers to the process of adapting digital asset operations and offerings to comply with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation. This regulation establishes a comprehensive legal framework for crypto-assets not already covered by existing financial services legislation. MiCA imposes requirements on issuers of crypto-assets, service providers, and trading platforms concerning authorization, governance, consumer protection, and market abuse prevention. Achieving alignment is crucial for entities seeking to operate legally within the EU market.
