As the digital asset ecosystem matures, regulatory frameworks in the UK and EU are evolving to provide clarity, consumer protection, and market integrity. This panel brings together key regulators and market experts to examine how the UK and EU are shaping the future of digital asset regulation. Panelists will discuss the implementation of MiCA and its impact on firms operating in the EU, alongside the UK’s emerging regulatory approach, including the FCA’s evolving framework. The discussion will highlight areas of convergence and divergence in regulatory approaches, the challenges market participants face in compliance, and how both jurisdictions are responding to the rise of stablecoins, DeFi, and tokenization.
