EU Digital Asset Accounting Mandate Slowing Down Digitization Journey?

The MiCA licenses officially approved by the EU introduce new requirements for the official accounting of crypto assets. This regulatory framework is creating cost increases and operational complexity for large-scale companies. Companies with $2.3 trillion in digital asset transactions now face mandatory reporting for dividend payments and liquidity provision. This requirement particularly burdens small and medium-sized funds with operational overhead. Experts view these accounting standards as a critical turning point regarding short-term liquidity risks and regulatory compliance costs.

New Era of MiCA Licensing in EU

■License processes must now be completed within 6 months

■Liquidity reserves increased to minimum 101%

■Dividend payments now require fixed timeframes

■Liquidity provision mandates three-month reporting

Markets remain largely reactive to this regulation. Particularly as regulatory costs rise while liquidity pressure continues. In the long run, however, these standards are expected to boost investor confidence.
