On April 20th, 2023, the European Parliament voted in favor of MiCA — the first comprehensive pan-European framework for regulating the crypto industry. Today, the focus has shifted to the practical steps of its implementation across EU Member States and the potential roadmap for countries aspiring to align with European standards, including Ukraine.
Regulating the circulation of virtual assets within the legal framework is a multifaceted process that requires a comprehensive approach, balancing diverse perspectives. Europe remains at the forefront of research and policy development in the field of blockchain and crypto assets, making the exchange of experience and best practices particularly valuable for shaping Ukraine’s legal trajectory.
This event will devote special attention to the roadmap for implementing MiCA, addressing key challenges and opportunities at the regional, national, and international levels.
The event is organized by the Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University in partnership with the National Academy of Legal Sciences. This event is also part of the Jean Monnet project «European Regulation of the Cryptocurrency Market: Implementation in Ukraine», grant number 01126839 – ERCM – ERASMUS-JMO-2023-HEI-TCH-RSCH, funded by the European Union.
