- European Union officials plan to revise the MiCA framework in 2027, partly in response to the U.S. GENIUS Act on stablecoins.
- The revised rules will broaden MiCA’s scope, including rules for non-EU stablecoin issuers and tokenized payments.
- EU regulators will also review operational resilience and custody risks for licensed crypto-asset service providers from July 2026 through mid-2027.
- U.S. lawmakers are advancing the CLARITY Act on market structure, expected for a Senate vote in July 2026.
European Union officials are reportedly planning to revise the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework in 2027, responding to the U.S. government’s Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. According to a Wednesday report from Euronews, EU officials Europe/2026/07/08/exclusive-eu-to-revise-crypto-rules-in-2027-amid-trumps-push-for-digital-assets” rel=”nofollow noopener”>planned to revisit proposed changes to broaden MiCA’s scope, specifically regarding non-EU companies issuing stablecoins.
The revised rules aim to clarify how U.S. stablecoin issuers could be regulated in EU member states. Officials will also consider expanding MiCA to include rules on tokenized payments and deposits. Under MiCA, crypto companies serving EU users across 27 member states must be licensed as Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) by a regulator in one member state.
The proposed framework, dubbed “MiCA 2.0,” remains open for public comments until Aug. 31. However, Miroslav Durić, a senior associate at Taylor Wessing, told Cointelegraph in June that “any concrete legislative proposals will be adopted before 2028” is unlikely. Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers are advancing the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, which is expected to head to a Senate vote in July.
The European Securities and Markets Authority announced on Wednesday that it plans to review the operational resilience of CASPs from July through the first half of 2027. Regulators will examine how crypto companies handle custody-related operational risks.
