MiCA y regulación europea con Gloria Hernández Aler
Gloria Hernández Aler · Socia de finReg360
In this Bit2Me Experts episode, Gloria Hernández Aler — co-founding partner of finReg360 — breaks down the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), the European framework that harmonises licensing, custody, market communication, and solvency requirements for issuers, exchanges, and custodians in the European Union. From finReg360, the first Spanish firm dedicated exclusively to regulatory advisory in the financial sector, Gloria translates complex regulation into actionable language for users, banks, and crypto ecosystem companies. The conversation covers how MiCA can influence institutional and retail adoption, what it means to operate with authorised providers versus platforms without equivalent supervision, and why understanding regulatory compliance is key to investing and providing services with crypto-assets in Europe. A reference for anyone who wants to align their strategy with the new regulatory environment without losing sight of the sector’s growth opportunities.
