The European Crypto Initiative (EUCI), a blockchain advocacy group, said that the MiCA Regulation aims to create a harmonized regulatory framework for crypto-assets. EUCI shared their statement on a September 6th post on X.

"The MiCa Regulation proposed by the European Commission represents a critical legislative initiative to regulate the rapidly evolving crypto-asset market within the European Union (EU," said European Crypto Initiative Team. "As part of the broader Digital Finance Package, MiCA's primary objective is to create a comprehensive and harmonized regulatory framework that fosters innovation, ensures legal certainty, and addresses the risks associated with crypto assets. This initiative aligns with the EU's broader goals of embracing digital transformation and building a resilient, future-ready economy that works for all citizens and business across its member states."

According to the European Crypto Initiative, they released a comprehensive overview of Markets in Crypto-Assets' (MiCA) significance and objectives, outlining its legal certainty, innovation and competitiveness, consumer and investor protection, and financial stability and market integrity. The overview said that MiCA regulation will become fully applicable across the European Union by December 2024, marking the first comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto-assets within the EU, focusing on stablecoins, market transparency, and consumer protection.

According to a release by Elliptic, the EU’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets regulations took effect on June 30 for all stablecoin issuers, ushering in "a new era of regulatory oversight for innovators in the Crypto space." This new rule states that "issuers must now obtain approval from relevant members of state authorities before offering their tokens within the EU or when offering stablecoins pegged to the euro or other member state currency."

The framework and legal clarity of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations have attracted the European Union’s largest banks to enter into the crypto industry. According to a report by Cointelegraph, Bitpanda Deputy CEO Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad said: "European banks are moving into crypto as an asset class and tokenization technology because MiCA, the upcoming regulatory framework for Europe, is suddenly bringing full clarity for banks."

"The European Crypto Initiative (EUCI) is a group that "aims to shape EU regulation to favor open, permissionless, decentralized applications leveraging blockchain technology while advocating for an innovative EU environment, supporting technological development for SMEs and innovative Crypto Assets Service Providers," according to their website. The EUCI team is composed of leaders from countries over Europe that make sure "that at the national level, the voices of the crypto companies are being heard. We bring years of experience in the blockchain space and are uniquely positioned to understand the complex technical component and the challenges it brings to the centrally designed regulation framework."
