​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
