币界网报道:Major crypto exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Kraken are expanding operations in Europe ahead of the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation taking full effect in December 2024. The new rules require exchanges to obtain licenses for stablecoin services by June 2024 and full crypto services by year-end. While some firms see MiCA as an opportunity to establish regulatory clarity, others like Binance have reduced European offerings, discontinuing services for privacy coins in multiple countries. Industry experts note MiCA will force exchanges to choose between compliance or exiting the EU market, with the regulation expected to set a global standard for crypto oversight.
