Where MiCA meet AIFMD and MiFID II ?

As digital assets become increasingly integrated into traditional finance, how do MiCA, MiFID II and AIFMD interact?

In this panel discussion, our speakers explore the regulatory boundaries between these frameworks, the requirements for providing crypto-asset advice, and the implications for investment advisers and alternative investment fund managers.

From investor protection and compliance obligations to the practical challenges of managing and advising on crypto-assets, discover the key considerations for financial professionals navigating this evolving regulatory landscape.

Not on the list, still frozen

This session explores why sanctions screening goes beyond checking whether a person or company appears on an official list.

Through recent 2026 cases, Oliver looks at how exposure can also arise through ownership, control, family relationships and close associates, as well as how the relevant rules differ across the EU, UK, US and Switzerland.

The webinar also covers practical considerations for organisations holding, moving or custodying assets, with examples relevant to crypto and financial services.

MiCA as an enabler ?

As the VASP grandfathering period closes, the European crypto-asset industry faces a defining moment.

Has MiCA delivered on its promise of a single, harmonised market ? This panel takes stock : the VASP-to-CASP transition, diverging supervisory approaches across member states, ESMA's role in shaping consistency and what MiCA is still missing, in light of the European Commission's ongoing consultation.

Quantum Readiness 

Speakers Andy Bryant and Patrick Vincenot from Horizen Labs will address regulatory deadlines, potential personal liability under frameworks such as DORA and the strategic steps institutions should take now to build cryptographic resilience.

​Topics covered:

​– The quantum threat : what it is and why it matters for finance

– Cryptographic migration as a fiduciary obligation

– Regulatory implications and leadership liability

– Crypto agility and cryptographic discovery frameworks.

DORA : Beyond the compliance checklist

Most organisations subject to DORA have prioritised documentation. Fewer have tested whether their frameworks hold up in practice.

This webinar brought together three speakers : Zoé Wagner, Quentin Pelissier and Karim Bouaissi to examine what effective DORA implementation looks like from regulatory, operational and field perspectives.

Topics covered include ICT risk management in practice, Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT), the gap between formal compliance and genuine resilience, supervisory expectations, and lessons from the field.
