The introduction of Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is helping shift perception. Nearly half of surveyed investors said the framework increased their trust in crypto, making it feel safer and more legitimate within the financial system.

However, challenges remain. Around 76% of respondents still believe crypto is not sufficiently regulated, and over 60% feel they lack proper understanding of digital assets. This gap between growing interest and limited knowledge continues to slow mainstream adoption across Europe.
