Did you catch everything that happened in crypto last week 🤷♀️
Because some of these stories deserve a second look👇
Almost four months in, and MiCA-approved CEXes are pulling in millions.
@krakenfx leads the chart with nearly $500M in spot trading
This surpasses @coinbase ($205M) and @cryptocom ($138M).
Could this soaring performance explain why Kraken's parent firm is acquiring @saldobank, an EU bank?
After an 18-month transitional period, the EU fully implemented its Market in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations on July 1, 2026.
The move has purged hundreds of crypto projects from the bloc, including @binance and @tether.
Today, there are fewer than 200 platforms with regulatory approval to operate in the EU.
