MiCA Crypto Alliance Shares Insights Across Three European Forums

Last week, the MiCA Crypto Alliance participated in three leading European conferences, contributing to discussions on digital assets, sustainability, and regulatory alignment across Europe. From Copenhagen to London to Vienna, the Alliance engaged with policymakers, industry leaders, and international organisations to advance practical and trusted implementation of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.

Blockchain Impact Forum - Copenhagen

Co-founder Nikhil Vadgama, Aaron Evencio Sanchez, and Juan Ignacio Ibañez represented Exponential Science at the Blockchain Impact Forum, co-hosted by UNDP AltFinLab and the Blockchain for Good Alliance.

The team supported the unveiling of the UNDP Government Blockchain Academy, an initiative designed to help public institutions build practical blockchain capabilities. They also contributed to a panel discussion examining how to advance scalable blockchain solutions that deliver real-world results for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Global Digital Assets, ScienceTech and Web3 Forum - London

Representing the Alliance, Juan Ignacio Ibañez joined a panel at The Digital Commonwealth’s Global Digital Assets, ScienceTech and Web3 Forum (GDASW3). The session explored cross-jurisdictional approaches to digital asset regulation, comparing the EU’s MiCA framework with the UK’s FCA regime and the US GENIUS Act.

Bluechip25 - Vienna

At Bluechip25, co-hosted by Bluechip and Raiffeisen Bank International AG, Juan Ignacio Ibañez spoke on a panel examining stablecoins and the future of payments in Europe. The session covered the scope and purpose of MiCA, the regulatory treatment of stablecoins across Europe, common challenges issuers face when preparing compliant documentation, and the MiCA Crypto Alliance’s Taxonomy Initiative on decentralised assets and liquid staking tokens.

Looking Ahead

Across all three conferences, the discussions underscored the importance of shared standards, high-quality disclosures, and effective collaboration between industry, policymakers, and public institutions. The MiCA Crypto Alliance looks forward to continuing these conversations with partners across Europe as the digital asset ecosystem progresses towards consistent, practical, and trusted MiCA implementation.
