Meet MiCA - The New Global Standard for Crypto-Asset Regulation

The European markets in crypto-assets regulation (MiCA) is currently in its final phase of adoption by the legislature, and last uncertainties that are being negotiated relate to purely political aspects of the proposal. Hence, as its substance is now settled it is time to take a closer look at this ground-breaking piece of legislation. MiCA will fundamentally change the European crypto markets and at the same time inspire legislation in other part of the world, very much as GDPR did.

Our live seminar series provides the necessary background information on the policy direction taken in Part 1 and covers the four most relevant regulatory aspects in Parts 2-5. We are proud to be joined for these sessions by policy makers with first-hand experience in shaping MiCA as well as leading experts from academia and industry.

EDFP executive short courses and strategy seminars

The Institute for Law and Finance of the University Frankfurt, in collaboration with navigatingfintech.com, has instituted the EDFP with a view to supporting executives to grapple with the rapidly changing financial sector and the swathes of newly emerging rules. The particular focus is on the EU regulatory framework which includes the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the future Regulation on Markets in Crypto-assets (MiCA), as well as more general regulatory rules, including the proposed AI Act, the Digital Service Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The European Digital Finance Programme is designed to respond to the simultaneously rising need for capacity building in the public and private sector.
