AMLA: Europe braces for impact
summary
AMLA goes live in Frankfurt July 1, 2025 and plans direct supervision of a rolling top 40 of high‑impact firms (full direct oversight expected by 2028), while MiCA forces licensing work now; EMIs report easier migration because existing payment controls map to MiCA licensing, exchanges warn stablecoin access can be cut (USDT cited) and KYT gaps persist, PSPs and EMIs boost due diligence and complain about a severe talent shortage as indirect supervision raises compliance costs across the whole payments/gaming/crypto stack.
