I participated in the panel "Navigating National Nuances Under MiCA: Exploring Local Advantages and Challenges Beyond the EU Framework" at the Token Summit in Liechtenstein. 

Recent rumors have circulated about certain EU countries potentially blocking CASPs authorized in other member states, despite proper notification. This is clearly against the spirit of creating a single European market and the European Commission seems determined to step up against any such behaviour. While MiCAR is a directly applicable regulation, it's evident that there's still significant leeway for national interpretation. This can lead to variations in implementation across EU member states.

Many thanks for the engaging discussion with Dr. Thomas Nägele {T} of NÄGELE Rechtsanwälte GmbH and Christian Steiner from Bitpanda, moderated by Nathan Catania from XReg Consulting.

This panel was a great lead-up to the MiCAR Expert Roundtable Mariana de la Roche Wills and I had organised the day after in Vaduz, where we further explored the discussions and insights shared on the panel, especially with Thomas and Christian joining us again.
