MiCA
The European Union's comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto assets.
Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) is a comprehensive regulatory framework adopted by the European Union covering the issuance and provision of services related to crypto assets, including specific requirements for stablecoin issuers and crypto service providers operating in the EU.
This is general, educational information about one specific jurisdiction's framework, not legal advice — specific requirements and their applicability should be verified against official EU sources.
Examples
- A stablecoin issuer operating in the EU is subject to MiCA's specific reserve and disclosure requirements.
- MiCA is specific to the European Union and does not apply globally.
