About the MiCA Crypto Alliance
The MiCA Crypto Alliance, founded by Exponential Science, was established to accelerate the responsible implementation of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation. By connecting researchers, policymakers and market participants, the Alliance provides shared standards, data-driven research and public tools that make regulatory compliance practical, verifiable and transparent.
What We Do
Advance Regulatory Alignment
The Alliance advances regulatory alignment by contributing to MiCA compliance standards and best practices. It supports token issuers, offerors and crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) in meeting the EU’s disclosure requirements for white papers and sustainability reporting.
Promote Transparency and Credibility
The Alliance promotes transparency and credibility across the crypto industry by maintaining public tools such as the White Paper Tracker, which analyse and score MiCA compliance readiness. These initiatives build trust with regulators, investors and market participants.
Simplify Compliance
The Alliance simplifies the complex journey of MiCA compliance through expert-driven support. Its white paper services, verified ESG datasheets and shared tools help projects achieve high-quality disclosure efficiently and at scale.
Our Mission
To make MiCA compliance practical, credible and transparent across the European crypto-asset market.
Through collaboration, data-driven research, and shared technical standards, the Alliance establishes best practices and drives cost efficiency under the MiCA regulatory framework, transforming complex requirements into practical tools that enhance disclosure clarity and strengthen trust.
