Cardano Strengthens Regulatory Standing With MiCA

Apart from the price movements, the regulatory environment within the Cardano ecosystem has also started influencing the fundamental aspect of the market.

According to the Miniswap, the MiCA whitepaper describes the design of the protocol, risks in operation, and governance principles.

This is in line with a broader DeFi trend, which is becoming more ‘regulatory ready’ in the European Union. For Cardano, this adds to its compliance story, increases its credibility, and bodes well for its adoption, as institutional investors become more focused on transparency.
