Impending Transformation in European Cryptocurrency Startups
As the year 2026 approaches, European cryptocurrency startups are on the brink of a significant transformation due to the impending implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). This regulation promises to reshape the landscape of the crypto market by introducing new licensing protocols, enhancing anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) measures, and enforcing stricter governance standards that will pose challenges for many emerging businesses in the sector.
Strategic Jurisdiction Selection
In light of these crucial changes, the task of selecting an appropriate jurisdiction has become increasingly strategic for crypto startups. SBSB FinTech Lawyers, a prominent international law firm with over ten years of expertise in fintech and crypto-assets, is available to assist these companies in navigating the evolving legal framework. They aim to help businesses understand which jurisdiction aligns best with their operational needs and long-term goals.
