A final wave of MiCA approvals increased the number of licensed crypto firms in Europe as the EU’s transitional period ended.

European authorities issued a final wave of approvals under the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework as the European Union’s transitional period came to a close. The decisions expanded Europe’s roster of licensed crypto firms.
The development matters because it marks the end of the transition into the EU’s MiCA licensing regime. For crypto companies operating in Europe, authorization status is now an increasingly important part of the regulatory landscape.
