🇪🇺 MiCA is now officially in force across the European Union
Crypto exchanges were given a transition period to obtain a MiCA license. As of today, only platforms that secured regulatory approval can legally continue offering crypto services across the EU.
Major exchanges such as OKX, Bybit, Kraken, and KuCoin successfully completed the process.
The biggest name missing from the list is Binance.
The world's largest crypto exchange failed to obtain a MiCA license before the deadline, meaning it can no longer legally operate in the EU under the new rules.
Binance has stated that it is still exploring alternative licensing options, but until approval is granted, it remains outside one of the world's largest regulated crypto markets.
