About this course

This course provides a comprehensive guide to Regulation EU 2023/1114 on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) and its implementation. It covers the classification of crypto-assets, the issuance rules for Asset-Referenced Tokens and E-Money Tokens, the authorisation and ongoing obligations of Crypto-Asset Service Providers, market integrity and consumer protection requirements, AML and sanctions compliance for crypto, and the strategic opportunities and risks for traditional financial institutions.

Essential for C-level executives, compliance officers and product teams exploring the digital asset space. A risk-based approach runs through the course: MiCA obligations are presented as an operational compliance framework, with practical guidance on authorisation timelines, transitional arrangements and supervisory expectations in Belgium.
