The same requirements are gonna apply to you." "That's huge to be able to offer the same kind of quality and the same kind of infrastructure to your client as if we were a bank.

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

MiCA Transition Ends on July 1: Approximately 75% of EU Crypto Companies May Lose License The EU’s MiCA transition period will end on July 1, after which crypto exchanges, brokers and wallet service providers without a MiCA license will no longer be able to serve EU users. As of May 2026, only 194 crypto firms in the EU had obtained a license, compared with more than 3,000 registered crypto firms in 2024. Around 75% of existing firms are expected to lose operating eligibility. Unlicensed platforms will need to stop new deposits and guide users to withdraw assets or transfer them to licensed firms. Regulators in some countries may also take measures such as website blocking and public warning lists.

At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, @Haider (CMO of @okx ) sat down with Peter Kerstens (Adviser at @EU_Commission Commission) to discuss the implementation of Europe’s digital asset framework. The conversation highlighted how MiCA is successfully transitioning the industry from a "Wild West" environment to a mature, regulated landscape. With over 180 licensed entities now operating, the framework provides the legal certainty needed to bring crypto activity into the "regulatory sunlight". Kerstens and Rafique agreed that tokenization and distributed ledger technology are set to become the new operating system for global financial markets, effectively eliminating the friction points of legacy systems. While MiCA serves as a global blueprint, the discussion turned to the inevitability of "MiCA 2.0" as policymakers look to evolve rules in tandem with market maturity and innovation. This is the conversation that took place at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.
