ESMA proposes changes to the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) to enhance investor protection, reinforce supervision, clarify DeFi classifications, simplify procedures, and support an integrated European tokenised capital market.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 8 sources have reported it between 30 Sep 2026 and 3 Oct 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must overhaul your compliance frameworks for crypto services as stronger EU rules now demand clearer disclosures and tighter controls on DeFi and stablecoins. This opens regulatory barriers for non-EU crypto firms soliciting EU investors and streamlines on-chain tokenised securities, so immediate legal review and strategic positioning are essential.
