MiCA Licensing Chaos Attracts Crypto Scammers Across Europe Fraudsters are impersonating both crypto companies and their regulators as customers scramble to find licensed providers under the EU's new MiCA regime. French watchdog AMF says the transition period has become a prime opportunity for scammers. Per reports. fraudsters use fake regulator identities and forged documents. Customers of unlicensed exchanges face higher phishing risks. Authorities warn investors not to rush asset transfers. Data provider VASPnet estimates more than 1,700 unlicensed crypto companies must cease EU operations after missing the MiCA licensing deadline. Only 323 firms have secured approval so far, according to ESMA's updated list. Source: Financial Times

Micah Parsons sounded optimistic about playing in the Green Bay Packers’ Week 6 game against the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field. “I think it's very realistic,” Parsons said Tuesday. More via @RobDemovsky:

MiCA’s reserve rules seem backwards. They can force @Tether a roughly $185B, fully reserved stablecoin issuer to place collateral in largely uninsured deposits at European banks, replacing highly liquid reserve assets with bank counterparty risk. Large banks typically hold only around 10–30% of deposits in cash or readily mobilizable liquidity on any given day. Lloyds, for example, held £57B in cash and central-bank balances against £496.5B of customer deposits at year-end 2025, about 11.5%. And outside Europe’s top 20 banks, deposit bases fall below €500B very quickly, meaning substantially less absolute liquidity.

MiCA-regulated exchanges, ranked by @DefiLlama: 🥇 Spot liquidity: Kraken ($399M) 🥇 Perp liquidity: Kraken ($207M) 🥇 Market coverage: Kraken (1,704 markets) Institutions don't have to choose between regulated and liquid with Kraken Institutional.

MiCA. DORA. Evolving regulator expectations across major markets. They're all converging on the same baseline: continuous monitoring, real-time risk controls, demonstrable audit trails. Institutions building this into their infrastructure now won't have to rebuild from scratch when the bar rises. Our take, in the @ZodiaCustody ecosystem series →
