The EU’s MiCA regulation, effective December 2024, imposes strict rules on crypto exchanges and stablecoin issuers. Exchanges must obtain licenses, ensure transparency, and comply with AML standards, increasing operational costs but boosting investor trust. Stablecoin issuers face reserve requirements and EU-based authorization, prompting delistings of non-compliant tokens like Tether. Short-term, compliance costs may strain smaller firms; long-term, MiCA fosters a stable, regulated market, attracting institutional investment.
