With MiCA officially published on 9 June 2023, an implementation and transition period has commenced.
The development and implementation of the MiCA regulation has been a significant undertaking for the European Union.
From the initial proposal, each step in the timeline has contributed to establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for the crypto industry.
MiCA aims to providea stable and secure environment for the growth of the digital asset industry within the European Union. It will also help investors and companies develop their operations in the region. Whilst MiCA regulation is being implemented, it will be interesting to watch how it will affect the overall developments in the global crypto industry.
The transition period of 18 months from the entry into force of MiCA allows preparations for both CASPs and competent authorities. Current operating CASPs may continue to provide their services up to 18 months after the date of application of MiCA.
With the final publication of the MiCA regulation, the dates of future steps are clear. MiCA implementation timeline can help crypto businesses to have a clear view of everything that has happened from the MiCA proposal to its implementation and to plan their activities and make informed decisions.
