The EU’s MiCA regulation, effective December 2024, imposes strict rules on crypto exchanges and stablecoin issuers. Exchanges face higher compliance costs, while stablecoin issuers must hold reserves and obtain licenses. Short-term, this may reduce market liquidity as smaller players exit. Long-term, it could boost trust, attracting institutional investors. Stablecoin dominance may shift toward compliant issuers like USDC. Exchanges adapting early, like Binance, may thrive. Investors should focus on MiCA-compliant platforms and monitor regulatory updates for opportunities.
