The European Union's ambitious Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework is facing early challenges as national regulators express concerns over potential regulatory arbitrage. Based on the data provided in the document, as the EU aims for a unified crypto market, the effectiveness of MiCA in ensuring consistent oversight across member states is now under scrutiny.

Impact on Smaller Firms
Smaller firms are particularly vulnerable in this scenario, as the compliance requirements imposed by MiCA may prove too burdensome, potentially driving them out of the market. The success of the MiCA framework hinges on the uniform application of its rules across all EU member states, ensuring that no country becomes a haven for firms seeking to evade stricter regulations. As the rollout progresses, the EU must address these concerns to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of its crypto regulatory framework.
