Carlos San Basilio, Chairman of the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), stated that the deadline is final<\/a><\/strong> and no exceptions or additional transitional regimes will be granted. Starting July 1, crypto companies without a license as Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASP) will no longer be legally permitted to serve clients within the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes just days before the full implementation of the MiCA framework, which establishes uniform regulations for the crypto sector across the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulator Prepares for Organized Market Exits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The CNMV reported that it is already working directly with firms that lack the necessary authorization to organize a phased cessation of activities. This process aims to prevent disruptions for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the deadline passes, investors will be unable to execute new transactions through unlicensed platforms, and these companies will lose the right to offer services in the European market. The regulator is paying close attention to the transfer of client funds and crypto assets to ensure investor interests are protected during these market exits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies previously operating under national frameworks\u2014such as registrations as Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP)\u2014were allowed to continue operations during the transition period, provided they applied for a full MiCA license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressure Mounts on Binance and Major Exchanges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The approaching deadline increases pressure on some of the industry\u2019s largest players. Among them is Binance<\/a><\/strong>, which has yet to secure a European license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company recently withdrew its application in Greece, stating it would apply in another member state to serve as its primary European jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, other major participants have already secured MiCA licenses through regulators in countries like Luxembourg and Malta. This allows them to provide services across all European Economic Area nations through the \u201cpassporting\u201d regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts suggest the arrival of MiCA signals a major consolidation of the European crypto market. New requirements for capital adequacy, risk management, anti-money laundering measures, and client fund protection significantly raise the entry barrier. Many smaller operators are expected to shut down, while licensed companies strengthen their positions in the new regulatory environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
