Los supervisores europeos dejan sin licencia a más de mil empresas cripto

European crypto supervisors have refused licenses to over a thousand crypto companies, according to a report by TRM, a leading blockchain data analytics firm. The end of the transitional period for the EU's first crypto regulation, MiCA, on July 1st, exposed the challenges faced by many crypto firms in meeting the stringent requirements set by supervisors for continuing to offer services with digital assets across the continent.

Only one in five companies managed to obtain their license on time, totaling 281 out of 1,343, the report revealed. While the authorization process remains open, and some companies have obtained their licenses after the deadline, many have not. Around a thousand companies have been left without a license and are required to cease their operations and facilitate the transfer of funds from their clients. Some entities in this group also pose high-risk profiles.
