Trummer also called for stronger MiCA enforcement, saying that some companies are still providing services to European clients without complying with MiCA licensing requirements, putting already-compliant companies at a competitive disadvantage.

The transition period under MiCA for existing crypto service providers ends no later than July 1, and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has required national regulators to take action against unauthorized firms that continue to provide crypto services after the transition period ends.

ESMA has also called for stronger supervisory powers to address crypto services that are not authorized under MiCA, as well as third-country firms soliciting business from EU investors. (Cointelegraph)
