Denmark needs to introduce its own legislative norms, DFSA officials assure, since a significant part of digital assets, self-storage crypto wallets and "DeFi interfaces" such as mobile applications and web browsers do not fall under the MiCA.
The Management will create its own classification, taking into account the technical characteristics and the level of potential risk from assets and services. For example: is a cryptocurrency product a centralized or decentralized investment instrument, payment service, commodity, or something else? What are the legal and operational risks, as well as the level of trust in the team behind the development of the project?
For high—risk projects and assets, the DFSA intends to introduce higher requirements - or completely ban activities. MiCA comes into force in December 2024. Danish officials intend to finalize their rules soon after.
Earlier, MakerDAO co-founder Rune Christensen shared concerns that MiCA could interfere with the full development of DeFi projects in Europe.
