MiCA is Regulation (EU) 2023/1114. Full application began on 30 December 2024 and the EU-wide transitional period expired on 1 July 2026, so there is now no grandfathering anywhere in the EEA. Around 325 crypto-asset service providers are authorised. Not one asset-referenced token issuer appears on ESMA's register.
