Web3 in Germany and the EU

Web3.de.com explains what Europe's crypto rules mean in Germany, in plain English, for people and for builders.

0 of 6 complete
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.
