Ladies and Gentlemen, we cordially invite you to another free webinar organized by Graś i Wspólnicy Law Firm. This time, we will discuss the MiCa regulation, which sheds new light on the virtual currency industry in Poland and the European Union.
Currently, activities related to the issuance of cryptoassets, the provision of services based on distributed ledger technology, and their introduction to trading depend on the solutions implemented in a given EU country and on anti-money laundering and terrorism financing regulations. Regulatory chaos, the lack of uniform legal provisions, and the lack of a common position among EU member state supervisory authorities on the legal classification of cryptoassets mean, on the one hand, difficulties in conducting international business within the European Union, and, on the other, a lack of protection for entities purchasing cryptoassets on the market, as well as investors interested in developing innovative projects.
First, during our meeting, we will discuss the legal situation of the cryptocurrency industry in the European Union, with particular emphasis on Polish conditions. We will explain the purpose of introducing the MiCa regulation, as well as the classification of virtual currencies in light of these regulations.
MICA aims to provide a much greater degree of legal certainty, remove fragmentation among national systems and ensure that cryptocurrencies can be introduced into circulation from a single point of entry, through a unified licensing process.
In the second part of the webinar, we will present the legal requirements for obtaining a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license. This license is introduced by the MiCa regulation and will be necessary for the operation of businesses trading cryptocurrencies in the European Union.
We cordially invite you to actively participate on Thursday, June 2, 2022, at 4:00 p.m.
