Viewpoint: MiCA may accelerate the institutionalization and integration of the EU cryptocurrency market

ChainCatcher news, according to cryptonews, European Crypto Initiative (EUCI) co-founder Marina Markezic stated that MiCA could accelerate the institutionalization and integration of the EU crypto market, driving mergers and acquisitions between traditional finance and crypto-native enterprises, while potentially leading to the exit of some companies or products from the market.

Although MiCA largely excludes DeFi from direct regulation, its interfaces or service access points may face additional regulation from member states, and this uncertainty could lead to friction.
