Marina Markezic, co-founder of the European Crypto Initiative (EUCI), stated that MiCA could accelerate the institutionalization and integration of the EU crypto market, driving mergers and acquisitions between traditional finance and crypto-native businesses, while possibly leading to the exit of certain companies or products from the market. Although MiCA largely excludes DeFi from direct regulatory oversight, its interfaces or service access points may face additional regulation from member states, and this uncertainty could lead to friction.
