ChainCatcher news, according to cryptonews, 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 merger and acquisition activities between traditional finance and crypto-native companies, while potentially leading to the exit of some companies or products from the market.

Although MiCA largely excludes DeFi from direct regulation, its interfaces or service access points may face additional regulation from member states, and this uncertainty could lead to friction.
