The new law will bring in a comprehensive regulatory framework for the crypto industry across all 27 countries of the European Union. What is MiCA? The Markets in Crypto Assets, or MiCA, the new legislation on cryptocurrency, is a landmark law that brings more clarity to the crypto industry in the EU. Introducing this law is a significant step forward for the crypto industry, as it represents a major effort to provide greater clarity and transparency in the sector. MiCA will provide a clear set of rules and guidelines for companies operating in the crypto industry, including trading, custody, and marketing of crypto assets. One of the key features of MiCA is its emphasis on regulatory stablecoins, which are digital assets backed by fiat currency or other assets. The law includes heavy compliance requirements for operators of stablecoins, which will help to ensure that these digital assets are stable and secure and that they are not subject to any fraudulent practices or money laundering. The countries in the European Union will have 18 months to implement these new regulations.
