EU seeks feedback on crypto-assets rules
The European Commission has launched a consultation to gather feedback from interested parties and the wider public on how the EU's regulatory framework on crypto-assets is working.
The commission says that it is assessing whether the current framework needs to be updated, as digital asset markets have continued to evolve, while the global policy and regulatory landscape is also changing significantly.
The Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA), implemented in 2024, set up a harmonised EU framework for crypto-assets and related services, covering crypto-assets, asset-referenced tokens, and e-money tokens (stablecoins), their issuers, and crypto-asset service providers.
Public questionnaire
The consultation seeks feedback on the main elements of MiCA.
It includes a public questionnaire for individuals and a targeted questionnaire covering more technical and legal questions for those with special interest or involvement in the sector.
The consultation is open until 31 August and the feedback gathered will be used to inform the commission's future policy work on digital assets.
