The MiCA deadline is approaching, and 83% of crypto companies haven't obtained licenses yet. EU customers may face widespread service disruptions. This wave of compliance reshuffling is much more brutal than expected.

CryptoWorld News: As the deadline for MiCA approaches, 83% of crypto companies may face the risk of ceasing operations for EU customers unless they obtain full authorization in time. According to MiCA regulations, the transition period will end on July 1, 2026, after which unlicensed crypto asset services will be prohibited. The implementation of MiCA will replace the fragmented regulatory frameworks of individual EU countries, allowing companies approved in one member state to operate across the entire European Economic Area. Based on ESMA's provisional MiCA registration, by mid-June 2026, only about 200 companies have obtained full authorization, meaning approximately three-quarters of registered providers may still not have entered the new licensing framework.
