July 1, 2026. The AMF is clear on MiCA authorization: there will be no second chance for latecomers.

Where do CASPs stand in their authorization process? Who has already obtained their licence? What do the ESMA guidelines actually require? And what are the risks for those who are not ready?

This webinar is an operational state of play hosted by The Big Whale and Homsy Legal: for CEOs, compliance officers and legal teams at CASPs who want to understand where they stand and what still needs to be done.

Agenda (30 min):

  • The state of MiCA authorizations in Europe: who already has their licence, who is behind, what this means for latecomers
  • What the ESMA guidelines (ESMA35-24871704-2922) concretely require: roles concerned, transitional regime for existing staff, annual CPD (10h or 20h depending on role), documentation to produce
  • Blocking points identified by regulators: and how to build a compliant file before July 1st
