Europe chose to write rules for crypto-assets rather than wait. Web3.de.com follows what that means in Germany, one of the continent’s largest markets.

What we cover

  • The rules: the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation (MiCA) and how it shapes the services on offer.
  • Germany: the local market, its regulator BaFin, and how businesses get licensed.
  • For builders: what launching a Web3 product in the EU requires today.

Our promise

Clear rules can protect people and still leave room to build. We explain them in plain English, with German sources where they matter.

The European Union wrote a single set of rules for crypto-assets instead of leaving each country to decide alone.

Regulation

MiCA is the EU regulation covering crypto-asset issuers and service providers. It sets rules for licensing, disclosure and stablecoins across member states.

Markets in Crypto-Assets

A crypto-asset service provider licensed in one EU country can offer its services across the EU. That is called passporting.

CASP

BaFin is Germany's federal financial supervisor. It licenses and oversees crypto businesses operating in Germany.

BaFin

Under MiCA, stablecoins tied to a single currency are treated as e-money tokens, with reserve and redemption rules for issuers.

E-money token

Launching in the EU means knowing which activities need a license. Get qualified legal advice early; the rules reward preparation.
