The European Union’s financial watchdog will launch a three-part consultation process for the recently adopted Markets in Crypto-Assets framework, or MiCA.
In a notice posted to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) website on June 12, regulators said the consultation packages would cover the authorization, governance, conflicts-of-interest and complaint-handling procedures of MiCA starting in July 2023. The measures will be subject to approval by the European Commission, European Parliament and European Council.
The first consultation package will include technical standards on the application of crypto asset service providers in the EU, as well as procedures for handling complaints and disclosing potential conflicts of interest. The second, expected to start in October, will consider disclosures of information to investors, governance requirements for crypto firms, and “sustainability indicators and adverse impacts on climate.”
#MiCA enters into force at the end of June.

According to ESMA, the final consultation, expected in the first quarter of 2024, may consider investor protection and rules to counter market abuse. The MiCA framework suggested a roughly 18-month timeline to fully take effect, with all rules applying beginning in December 2024.
