A single market worth protecting: Getting the MiCA review right

Crypto firms active in the EU are the main group that will notice this next, because MiCA is being reviewed with compliance costs and market access in view. That means the current rulebook is not static while the review runs, and firms operating under it are waiting for possible changes tied to the consultation that just closed.

In practice, the review opens up the parts of MiCA that can be reconsidered, including scope, stablecoin risks, lending, and definitions. What remains in place for now is the existing framework itself, since the review only sets up examination and a report date rather than an immediate rewrite.
