Malta's financial regulator is exploring bringing certain aspects of DeFi under MiCA's regulatory purview.
According to CoinDesk, the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) has released a discussion paper exploring how decentralized finance (DeFi) can be incorporated into the EU's MiCA framework. The MFSA points out that while MiCA exempts "fully decentralized" crypto services, many DeFi projects still retain centralized characteristics such as administrator keys, centralized governance, and protocol upgrade permissions. The regulator is seeking public comment on whether decentralization should be considered a "spectrum" rather than a binary concept, and is discussing whether to establish a standardized framework to determine whether protocols fall outside the scope of MiCA. Furthermore, the paper proposes potential legal structures such as DAOs and segmented unit companies, and explores automated compliance mechanisms such as guardianship agents. The public comment period for this discussion paper ends on July 10th.
The European Parliament has called for a review of DeFi and NFT regulation, and a follow-up framework for MiCA has been put on the agenda.
PANews reported on July 8th that, according to a report by Crypto.news, members of the European Parliament on Tuesday adopted a policy position report, requesting the European Commission to review whether DeFi, staking, crypto lending, NFTs, and tokenized financial assets should be included in the subsequent regulation under the MiCA framework. The report does not amend existing laws or add new obligations, but sets priority directions for the next phase of crypto regulation. It also calls for consistency among member states, warning that differing national practices could weaken the EU's single market for digital assets. In May, the European Commission launched a public consultation on whether the MiCA should be extended to more crypto activities and whether to reconsider restrictions on interest-bearing stablecoins. The report takes a positive stance on tokenization and euro-denominated stablecoins, stating that unified implementation of rules would enhance the competitiveness of the European financial market.

Gate Founder Dr. Han: Gate's early completion of MiCA licensing will push the European crypto market towards fair competition.
According to ChainCatcher, CoinDesk reports that with the full implementation of the EU's Crypto Asset Market Regulation (MiCA), the European digital asset market has entered a new era of unified regulation. Regarding the impact of MiCA on the industry landscape, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han stated in an interview that Gate began its European compliance preparations several years ago and completed its MiCA and Payment Institution (PI) license preparations ahead of schedule in 2025. He pointed out that the significance of MiCA lies not only in establishing a unified regulatory framework, but more importantly, in putting all market participants on a level playing field. "Only when all platforms adhere to the same rules can the industry truly compete around products, services, and user experience." He also stated that if unauthorized platforms continue to provide services to European users, a level playing field will remain a challenge, making effective regulatory enforcement equally crucial. Currently, Gate Europe is leveraging its MiCA and PI licenses to continuously improve its compliance system, risk management, and operational governance capabilities, and is continuously deepening its global compliance strategy. In addition to Europe, multiple Gate entities have completed relevant regulatory registrations, license applications, or obtained authorizations and approvals in jurisdictions such as Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, the United States, Australia, and Dubai. Through multi-regional regulatory approvals, Gate has solidified its global business foundation and continues to provide global users with safer, more transparent, and more efficient digital asset services. Looking ahead, Gate will continue to adhere to a parallel development strategy of compliance and innovation, promoting the long-term healthy development of the digital asset industry through superior product experiences and global service capabilities.
