On July 18, global law firm Reed Smith launched an automated compliance platform named Aquarius to assist crypto companies in meeting the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) requirements. The platform automates key compliance processes including crypto-asset classification, regulatory white paper generation, due diligence, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures. This development is significant for compliance teams at CASPs and exchanges as MiCA establishes a unified licensing, consumer protection, and operational framework for crypto-asset service providers across the European Union. A practical takeaway for institutions is to leverage such platforms to streamline their compliance processes, ensuring they meet the stringent MiCA requirements.
