Europe’s landmark Markets in Crypto Assets regulation (MiCA) will not be implemented until at least next February, as EU lawmakers delayed voting on the regulation due to the length and complexity of the text, an EU spokesperson told Decrypt on Monday. Lawmakers had previously set a December deadline. The delay is likely to stall regulation that would have provided greater protection for retail cryptocurrency investors as well as certainty for the industry. The bill’s text was approved In June, with the final version published in October.
