Get the lowdown on the newly implemented MiCA laws in Europe

Article Update: June 28, 16:40 am UTC: This article has been revised to clarify that Bitstamp intends to delist Euro Tether (EURT) rather than USDT.

The upcoming enforcement of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation is set to bring about significant changes to the cryptocurrency landscape in the European Union. This new regulatory framework is expected to be implemented gradually, with stablecoin regulations scheduled to come into effect on June 30, followed by regulations impacting crypto asset service providers in December.

MiCA represents the first instance of unified market regulations for crypto assets within the EU, and has been in the works since September 2020, with the European Parliament approving the MiCA laws in April 2023. The aim is to usher in a new era of regulation for the crypto industry, marking a notable development in Europe’s financial sector.

As the first set of MiCA regulations comes into force a year after its official publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, the industry is bracing for the impact on cryptocurrency companies, EU member states, and users. Industry experts across Europe were consulted by Cointelegraph to gain insights into the implications of these initial MiCA rules.

Immediate Effects:

While regulatory measures often introduce additional bureaucracy, they also confer a sense of legitimacy, especially critical for the crypto sector under constant scrutiny for its volatility and speculative nature. Reinis Znotiņš, executive director of the Latvian Blockchain Association, emphasized the psychological impact of MiCA, highlighting a growing confidence in the legitimacy of crypto businesses thanks to a defined legal framework.

Jón Egilsson, former chairman of the Icelandic Central Bank and co-founder of Monerium, noted that MiCA brings regulatory clarity alongside market disruptions, suggesting that non-compliant stablecoins could be delisted or face service restrictions for EU and EEA-based users by various crypto exchanges, including Uphold, Binance, Kraken, and OKX. Notably, Bitstamp plans to delist Euro Tether (EURT).

Looking Ahead:

There is a possibility of non-compliant stablecoin issuers exiting the EU market, with potential interest in euro-backed stablecoins as demand grows in European markets. Laura Chaput, head of regulatory compliance at Keyrock, highlighted the evolving landscape and emphasized the importance of adhering to the newly published Regulatory Technical Standards related to EMTs under MiCA, set to take effect on June 30.

For EU crypto businesses, staying informed about regulatory updates and maintaining compliance with evolving standards will be crucial. Egilsson stressed the significance of obtaining proper authorization by meeting rigorous organizational, governance, and capital requirements, particularly for stablecoin issuers.

Challenges and Opportunities:

While some businesses may consider regulatory arbitrage or relocation strategies, Chaput mentioned the potential for established financial institutions to enter the stablecoin market under the new regulatory framework. As the enforcement date approaches, EU crypto users are advised to prepare for a changing ecosystem, potentially with limited access to certain assets but enhanced transparency regarding token operations.

Although some users might seek access to a broader range of tokens through non-EU exchanges, Egilsson expressed hope that enhanced protections and transparent information on crypto assets will benefit users in the long term. As the industry adapts to MiCA regulations, stakeholders are urged to navigate the evolving landscape with vigilance and strategic foresight.
