According to The Block, the European Union has officially launched a public assessment and consultation on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), evaluating the framework's applicability in the context of the rapid evolution of digital assets, and is open for industry and public feedback until August 31.

This assessment covers the core regulatory framework of MiCA, including key regulatory areas such as crypto asset issuance, asset-referenced tokens (ART), electronic money tokens (EMT), and crypto asset service providers (CASP). The EU's consultation is divided into two paths: an open call for public opinions and a technical consultation aimed at financial institutions, regulators, and industry organizations.

The European Commission stated that this move is driven by the ongoing evolution of the global digital asset market and the competitive pressure brought about by the rapid advancement of crypto regulation in the U.S. and Asia. Meanwhile, the transitional period for MiCA will end in July 2026, at which point crypto companies will need to obtain full compliance authorization.

Recently, Zerohash has become the first company to simultaneously obtain both the MiCA CASP license and the Dutch electronic money institution license, and Poland has just passed its local MiCA implementation bill. The head of Coinbase's European policy stated that MiCA has established early global standards but should undergo "targeted optimization" to balance regulatory safety and international competitiveness.

The European Commission also supports centralizing the regulatory authority over large cross-border crypto institutions to ESMA to strengthen the unified regulatory framework.
