Understanding MiCAR
Helping you to understand the regulatory requirements of the new cryptoasset framework
Understanding MiCAR
The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) is a new European regulation that introduces uniform rules for crypto-assets.
MiCAR gradually enters into effect from 30 June 2024 and will affect a wide range of crypto-assets and crypto-related services. Now is a good time to familiarize yourself with new MiCAR rules. Our experts are there to help you to understand whether your business falls within the scope of the MiCAR and assist you in getting compliant on time.
CASPs: are you MiCAR compliant?
If you are providing crypto-asset services under MiCAR, then you will in principle need to ensure compliance by 30 December 2024.

MiCAR level 2 and 3 tracker
We created a tracker with expected and available EU level 2 and 3 measures under MiCAR.
- Level 2 measures further specify certain MiCAR aspects and take form of a Regulatory Technical Standard (RTS) or an Implementing Technical Standard (ITS).
- Level 3 measures are guidelines and Q&As of the European authorities to achieve consistent interpretation in Member States.
The tracker was last updated on 10 April 2024 and will undergo regular updates.
