## Resource

MiCAR gave Europe a common regulatory framework for crypto-assets but implementation has exposed continuing challenges around licensing, token classification, whitepapers, legacy assets and regulatory consistency. The European Commission’s 2026 review reflects this evolving landscape whilst gaps remain around DeFi, staking, lending, tokenised deposits and cross-border harmonisation.
