FinTech Madrid — The New EU Crypto Rulebook
Europe has a new crypto rulebook. What happens next?
MiCA is changing the way crypto companies operate across Europe, with new rules for authorisation, supervision and market access.
We’ll look at what this new EU crypto framework means in practice, what companies are facing today, and how the market could evolve.
No MiCA 101. Just a straightforward conversation about crypto regulation in Europe 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
