EU Commission mulls MiCA revisions as crypto market matures

Peter Kerstens, an advisor in the financial services unit of the European Commission, stated at Paris Blockchain Week (PBW) 2026 that changes to the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation are inevitable as the market matures, Cointelegraph reported. He announced that the EU plans to launch a public consultation to assess the regulation's real-world application and its impact on the industry. Kerstens added that follow-up legislation, such as a "MiCA 2," could naturally follow, considering the phased evolution of EU financial regulations.
