The Essential Readiness Checklist for Crypto Businesses

Understand MiCAR without the complexity. This guide cuts through the complexity of Europe’s new crypto framework and provides the ultimate checklist to guide your compliance journey.

Europe is taking the lead in digital assets, bringing trust, transparency, and regulation to the crypto economy.

The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) is setting a new global benchmark for the digital asset industry. By replacing fragmented national rules with one harmonized framework, the EU is turning crypto into a regulated and trusted market.

The framework introduces extensive licensing, governance, and compliance obligations, with all Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) required to be fully compliant by June 2026. For many market participants, this transition marks both a regulatory challenge and an opportunity to build stronger, more transparent foundations for the future of digital finance.
