As the European Union rolls out MiCA regulation, crypto asset companies gear up for necessary licensing that will determine their operational fate in the region. To continue functioning, they must obtain MiCA licenses.
The caveat? Licensing is expensive and requires crypto platforms to be transparent about their operations, finances, and governance, meaning they must beef up their compliance teams to meet regulatory requirements.
While most have welcomed the regulation, hoping it may finally encourage true crypto adoption among end users, logistically, few might be well positioned to keep operating post-MiCA deadlines.
How will the regulation affect crypto exchange companies?
Crypto-fiat onramp providers face an impending roadblock: stablecoins will be regulated as Electronic Money Institutions (EMI), meaning the only way forward is to get licensed.
This poses a challenge for platforms that might have to delist stablecoins since obtaining an EMI license isn’t straightforward and requires a minimum initial capital of at least €350,000.
On the other hand, if they decide to go ahead with the license, the passporting rights will allow businesses to continue serving EU clients once approved in a member state.
These are just a few of the roadblocks to compliance. Launching a crypto exchange platform from the ground up is tedious and expensive, taking months to launch. Adding the hiring of a dedicated development team to create the application and handle support tickets increases resource expenditure.
Solution? Partner with a MiCA-licensed company that takes care of all compliance and development necessities for you.
