Crypto Umbrella: Fair Digital Asset Legislation for Europe
summary
MiCA creates a harmonized EU regime that arrives in about 18 months with passporting across 27 states but only a few regulators (Malta, France) feel ready; Estonia previously logged 3,500 Estonian applications and saw most fail or get revoked, and Malta promises fast simplified reauthorization while 18-month grace period in Lithuania gives firms time to apply. Key constraints include article 68 forces identity sharing, unclear bank acceptance of Estonian/Lithuanian registrations, and significant licensing delays that will close many unprepared companies.
