The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation is now fully enforced as of July 1, 2026, with no extensions, serving as a potential blueprint for future U.S. crypto rules. The article advises U.S. financial advisors to align their governance and internal controls now to avoid scrambling later, as America's current fragmented regulatory landscape could shift toward a unified framework similar to MiCA. It also emphasizes that operational risk, including specific internal controls, is the primary investment risk in digital assets.
