Maximum EU MiCA transition period ends

The final EU-wide grandfathering deadline expired for crypto-asset service providers operating under pre-MiCA national law.

Member states could choose shorter transition periods, so many firms had faced earlier deadlines. From July 1, any provider still serving EU clients without the required MiCA authorization had to cease covered activity unless another lawful basis applied.
