Following up our announcement on the INATBA's and EUBOF's Public MiCA Task Force initiative, led by INATBA's Finance Working Group. Thanks to the significant interest raised, we are excited to be moving into the next stage, collecting feedback via a survey that is linked on the task force home page.

The results of this survey will be analysed and brought to the European  Commission, Parliament and member states, using INATBA's platform to make an impact. Together we will help protect the future of crypto-assets in Europe and internationally!
