With this achievement, XION is now the first layer 1 platform to align with MiCA’s Title II regulatory framework, which provides guidelines for governing crypto-assets across the European Union. The XION team plans to leverage the regulatory clarity that MiCA offers to expand its footprint in the region by targeting institutional investors. “By adhering to the EU’s evolving regulatory landscape, it ensures that institutions and users can both gain access to XION in a compliant manner, strengthening the foundation for broader adoption of Web3,” Burnt Banksy, founder at XION, said in a statement. Title II of the EU’s comprehensive market guidelines targets digital asset issuers, offerors, and providers looking to bring their crypto trading products to customers in the 27-member bloc. XION will use this compliance milestone to accelerate Web3 access, with its technology stack helping to remove the hurdles that hinder broader adoption. Generalized abstraction, meta accounts, and signature abstraction are key features of XION’s infrastructure layer. You might also like: OKX acquires MiFID II license in Europe
