The regulation of crypto-asset markets at the level of the European Union is no longer a legislative promise, but a legal reality. With the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), the Union establishes, for the first time, a unified and directly applicable legal framework specifically designed for digital assets not covered by existing financial regulations.

In April 2025, the UK Gambling Commission released a comprehensive update on emerging money laundering and terrorist financing risks across the gambling sector that also outlines current threats and sets Commission’s clear expectations for how operators should respond to such.

As part of the European Union’s broader efforts to promote equality and eliminate barriers to participation in the digital economy, the legal framework on accessibility will soon become binding for a wide range of service providers, including those active in the gambling sector.

The curiosity to explore the spectacular field of intellectual property law was the main element that defined the vibe of the third edition of the Intellectual Property Law Moot Court Competition organized by the BACIU PARTNERS team together with our partners ELSA Bucharest, the European Law Students Association’s chapter.
