The role of MiCA in cryptocurrency: From volatility to stability

Digital finance is transforming financial services, making it easier to manage money, process payments, and create new markets.

It represents a revolution in financial services and tools that use or rely on new information and communication technologies (ICT). A wide range of financial system sectors are affected, from digital payment services to new crypto-asset markets based on distributed ledger technologies (DLT).

European lawmakers expect digital finance to benefit the financial system. However, it also introduces new risks—particularly to financial stability and consumer protection. The EU’s regulatory philosophy, expressed through legislative initiatives and policies, is that with a stable and harmonised regulatory framework across the EU, these risks can be monitored and controlled while still fostering desirable innovation.

Everything you need to know about digital finance and the European regulatory direction will be presented during a session by Joanna Jenkins, Head of International Compliance at Kraken, titled:

“From Volatility to Stability: The Role of MiCA in Crypto”

The 11th International Compliance Forum, to be held at Parklane Resort & Spa in Limassol, is one of the most significant events in the field of regulatory compliance and financial oversight. With more than 28 top speakers, over 400 participants, and 150+ companies, the Forum brings together the industry’s most important names—and Joanna Jenkins is among them.

The conference, which will take place on 22 May 2025 at Parklane Resort & Spa, promises to be a key reference point for professionals involved in compliance, finance, and regulatory affairs. It will focus, among other things, on navigating EU compliance and global alignment in anti-money laundering (AML) and high-risk jurisdictions.
