Markets in Crypto-assets (MiCA) Regulation, introduced in 2020, provides a sound legal framework for crypto-asset markets to develop within the EU by clearly defining the regulatory treatment of crypto-assets that are not covered by existing financial services legislation.
To address these issues, EFFAS is preparing a specialised training programme for financial institutions, covering the mandatory requirements on digital assets, including the main concepts, services, tax, and compliance regimes among other relevant topics. This innovative programme will provide an understanding of the essential elements of digital assets based on blockchain technology, along with the use cases it generates for business and its regulation.
This programme will be launched by the end of 2022.
