LegalBison Unveils 'MiCA Decoded' Research Series on EU Crypto Regulation

Global legal and licensing firm LegalBison has partnered with Bitcoin.com to release a comprehensive research series on the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The 12-part series, titled 'MiCA Decoded', aims to provide insights into the complexities of MiCA compliance as deadlines for authorization narrow.

According to LegalBison, most founders and operators misread the actual application timeline for MiCA compliance, which is often misunderstood as being 25 days. However, the firm's data-driven analysis reveals that the full operational window is much longer. Each installment in the series addresses a specific aspect of MiCA compliance, drawing on public CASP registers, ESMA data, and the firm's direct licensing experience.

The series covers various topics, including the authorization landscape by service category, grandfathering deadline for most crypto service providers, and white paper requirements for crypto assets. The roundtable expert discussion on jurisdictional strategy across MiCA-implementing countries is also part of the series. LegalBison's CASP licensing practice guides crypto companies through the full MiCA authorization process.
