MiCA: Strengthening Europe’s Crypto Framework
The MiCA regulation, implemented in 2024, harmonizes crypto-asset rules across the EU, offering:
- Investor protections (transparency, fraud prevention).
- A "European passport" for licensed firms to operate region-wide.
- Clear guidelines for stablecoins, exchanges, and asset custodians.
OKX’s entry into Europe aligns with MiCA’s goals to balance innovation and security, potentially reshaping the EU’s crypto landscape.
