The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) fully came into force on July 1, 2026, restricting crypto companies in the EU to two viable options: orderly client transfer or wind-down, as emergency authorizations and mergers are not practically feasible on short notice.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Crypto founders in Europe face immediate disruption as only client transfer or orderly wind-down allow compliance post-MiCA deadline; you must act fast to secure a CASP partner able to onboard quickly or prepare your wind-down plan.
