The next negotiation on the European Union’s (EU) landmark MiCA regulatory package begins today. Following the EU legislative process, MiCA will now be the subject of informal tripartite discussions (called tripartite talks) involving the bloc’s branches of government (Commission, Parliament and Council). Parliamentarian Stefan Berger, who is responsible for overseeing the framework as it progresses through the legislative process, confirmed that the trilogy will begin Thursday as scheduled.
Introduced in 2020, the MiCA bill aims to simplify expansion for crypto businesses in the EU’s 27 member states and includes a wide range of rules for crypto publishers and service providers. It will also include specific regulatory requirements for stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies pegged to the value of other assets such as the US dollar.
While discussing the bill, including provisions that could effectively ban popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) in the EU, the framework is concerned that networks supporting PoW Blockchains consume too much energy. recently passed the European Parliament after several tense weeks. Today’s vote will consider changes to AML legislation aimed at regulating decentralized wallets.
What will be the content of the MiCA bill and at what time?

With its mandate to share information about cryptocurrency transactions, the European Parliament hopes to make it easier to track criminals.
