The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) transitional period ended on 1 July 2026, requiring all crypto-asset service providers operating in the EU to have full MiCA authorisation. Firms without authorisation must have wind-down plans ready, and ESMA mandates uniform enforcement across member states.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Crypto founders targeting European users must now ensure full MiCA authorisation or exit the market immediately. You need to verify your licensing status and have a client offboarding plan ready to avoid fines or forced shutdowns.
