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