Overview of key authorities in the MiCA ecosystem: European Commission, ESMA, EBA, AMLA, ECB, ESRB, and UK FCA, Bank of England and HM Treasury.
The European Commission drafts MiCA and adopts delegated and implementing acts. ESMA and EBA develop most RTS/ITS and guidelines that NCAs then apply. See /mica-regulatory-authorities.
ESMA leads on markets, CASP conduct and investor protection. EBA leads on ART and EMT (stablecoin-type) issuers, especially significant tokens. Overview: /mica-regulatory-authorities.
No. AMLA sets and coordinates AML/CFT standards (and may directly supervise the largest cross-border entities). ESMA and EBA remain the market and prudential anchors under MiCA. Details: /mica-regulatory-authorities.
No. The FCA builds a parallel UK cryptoasset regime. It is the main external benchmark for EU-UK firms comparing MiCA to UK rules. Comparison: /crypto-regulation-comparison and /mica-regulatory-authorities.
