EU Opens Public Consultation on Crypto-Asset Regulation Framework

The European Commission has initiated a public review of the EU's crypto-assets regulation framework to ensure it remains effective and aligned with current market trends.

As digital asset markets continue to evolve, policymakers are reassessing whether existing rules can keep pace. The Commission is seeking feedback from stakeholders and the wider public on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which established a harmonized regulatory framework for crypto-assets in 2024.

The consultation covers key aspects of MiCA, including its main building blocks, to determine whether the current framework remains fit for purpose. A public questionnaire is available for individuals, while a targeted consultation addresses more technical and legal questions for specific stakeholders such as digital asset issuers and service providers.
