But figures show that the hype around ICOs has died down again and companies are turning back to classic, more regulated forms of financing. Reasons for this include the high risk for investors due to the lack of regulation. Now, with MiCA, the EU has created a regulatory framework for crypto assets, the declared aim of which is to promote ICOs and thus achieve an expansion of financing sources for companies. How will ICOs be regulated in the future? And is MiCA the chance for the EU to lead the way in crypto regulation and help ICOs become an integral part of the funding landscape?
