MiCA and AI Agents: What Europe's Crypto Regulation Requires at the Agent Layer
· 4 min read
MiCA — the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation — became fully applicable to Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) on December 30, 2024. If you operate a crypto exchange, custody service, or trading platform in the EU, you are now subject to MiCA's full requirements.
AI agents that automate crypto transfers, execute trades, manage wallets, or provide investment advice on crypto assets are in scope. MiCA doesn't have an exemption for "it's just an algorithm."
