UK CBT and MiCA Crypto Alliance co-hosted an evening bringing together researchers and industry voices to examine the changing regulatory environment for cryptoassets, including admission requirements under the UK FCA regime.

Juan Ignacio Ibañez opened the discussion by comparing the principles-based UK approach with the European Union’s rules-based MiCA framework. The presentation explored common ground in disclosure standards alongside differences in regulatory design.
