Si, what kind of protocols are not going to be clearly under any of these regulations (MIFID and MICA).

It is not a easy question to answer but lending and similar protocols are not under any financial regulation.

Secondly, those protocols that offers services contemplated in MiCA Regulation.
And yes, I mean DEXs as the most clear crypto assets service providers (CASP).

Guidelines of classification of crypto assets as financial instruments under MiCA with a very narrow approach related to what a security token is.
Crypto-assets might be recognised as transferable securities if they grant rights similar to shares, bonds or other securities.
The scope of Mica is becoming broader than initially thought.
