The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is the EU's first comprehensive framework for crypto-assets. Stablecoin rules (Titles III and IV) have applied since 30 June 2024; the full regime for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) has applied since 30 December 2024, with national transitional regimes running through 2025 and 2026.
MiCA's scope is broad: issuers of asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and e-money tokens (EMTs), CASPs offering custody, exchange, placement, or advice — and, on the edges, DeFi and NFT arrangements where MiCA's exclusions are narrower than commonly assumed. Penalties reach up to 12.5% of annual turnover for the most serious infringements.

Research the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation end-to-end — CASP authorisation, ART/EMT rules, whitepaper duties, passporting, and every ESMA/EBA Q&A in one searchable platform.
