Crypto Crisis Averted: Explore Alternatives Warsaw 2026

On 12 February 2026, industry leaders will meet in Warsaw for Crypto Crisis Averted: Explore Alternatives, a closed door gathering focused on a practical question many crypto and fintech operators are facing in Europe: is there a viable pathway to obtaining a MiCA licence, and what compliant operating models make sense in the meantime.

Hosted at the Warsaw School of Economics, the event is positioned as a working session rather than a stage driven conference, bringing together participants from crypto, fintech, banking, and policy to compare regulatory routes and real world approaches to operating in the EU under MiCA.

The agenda emphasis is clear: license accessibility, regulatory pathways, and compliant models. That framing matters because it shifts the conversation away from narratives about market cycles and back toward what boards and compliance teams need most right now: repeatable processes, credible interpretations, and an understanding of where friction still sits between ambition and authorisation.

Sean will be attending and will be open to discussions with peers during the evening, including informal conversations about how teams are approaching MiCA readiness, partner structures, and near term operating choices. If you are attending as well, it is a good moment to compare notes on what is working in practice across different jurisdictions.
