MiCA Crypto Alliance

The MiCA Crypto Alliance is a European industry association representing crypto-asset businesses, service providers, and infrastructure firms across the EU, focused on promoting responsible and workable implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. The alliance engages directly with EU regulators, the European Banking Authority, ESMA, and national competent authorities to provide industry input on technical standards, delegated acts, and regulatory guidelines under MiCA. Members include exchanges, custodians, token issuers, compliance technology firms, and advisory organisations — including Cointegrity, which co-endorsed the alliance's joint response to the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Consultation Paper CP25/25 on regulated crypto-asset activities, in collaboration with the Cardano Foundation and the UK Centre for Blockchain Technologies. Example: The MiCA Crypto Alliance submitted a joint response with the UK Centre for Blockchain Technologies to the FCA's CP25/25 consultation, shaping how the UK's crypto-asset regulatory handbook is structured — demonstrating the alliance's reach beyond EU borders into broader English-speaking regulatory frameworks. Why it matters for compliance: The MiCA Crypto Alliance is one of the most active industry voices in shaping how MiCA is implemented in practice, making membership a signal of regulatory engagement and a direct channel for influencing the technical standards governing EU crypto-asset markets.
