​MiCA — One Year In

​The transition window closed in July. The "what will MiCA mean?" phase is over. Now the interesting question: what actually happened?

​The first real experiences of authorisation, supervision and passporting are in. Companies across Europe have moved from interpreting the framework to operating inside it, and the gap between what the rules say and how they work in practice is getting clearer.

​This isn't another MiCA explainer. We're bringing together people who have been through it to talk about what they learned, what surprised them, and what comes next.

​What we'll get into

• ​What actually changed for firms operating under the framework

• ​What regulators are really focusing on in practice

• ​Whether the EU passport works the way it reads on paper

• ​What the first enforcement phase could look like, and who is most exposed

• ​Whether regulatory clarity made Europe more investable, or just slower and more complex
