[MiCA] Basic questions

Hey,

My job made me learn about MiCA (I'm not sitting in crypto). I have read some materials and seen some YT videos, but still can't grasp some things.

– How will MiCA change the market for cryptoassets broadly? Like, what will be the general biggest changes? if I want to e.g. buy some coin? From what I understand, there will be some anti-money laundering verifications.

– Will exchanges operating in EU have to obtain a permit?

– MiCA includes three types of crypto-assets: e-money; asset-referenced token; and other. To which categories classic cryptocurrencies fall (e.g. bitcoin)?

– What will the DAC8 directive bring? Will it reduce the possibility of not paying taxes on cryptocurrencies?

​

Thanks in advance for any info.
