The rules go further than an existing crypto-asset law known as MiCA, which has yet to pass. - Meanwhile, EU officials said the upcoming MiCA, which may not take effect for years, would have stopped FTX-style mismanagement. "MiCA has to be passed as quickly as possible," Stefan Berger, an architect of MiCA, said.
