Belgium's FSMA warned consumers about six unauthorized crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) operating in the country. This action follows the EU's MiCA licensing deadline, marking the start of enforcement for crypto regulations across Europe.
Belgium's FSMA warned consumers about six unauthorized crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) operating in the country, following the EU's MiCA licensing deadline. The regulator advised against engaging with named companies and urged users to check its official register.
On July 1, Europe's crypto market will undergo a significant reset as the MiCA transitional period ends, forcing unauthorized exchanges to cease operations or face restrictions. The effectiveness of this deadline hinges on app stores and how offshore platforms maintain accessibility to EU users, potentially leading to asset access issues and a shift in volume to licensed exchanges.
As Europe's MiCA regulation deadline passed Wednesday, numerous crypto companies secured last-minute licenses. Italy authorized four new firms, France added three, and Malta and Spain also granted licenses. Major exchange Binance remains unlicensed, while OKX, Coinbase, and Bybit are among the largest licensed operators.
Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed a cryptocurrency regulatory bill for the third time, delaying the country's implementation of the EU's MiCA regulation. Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized the veto, highlighting the political deadlock and potential risks to consumers and businesses.
Prime Minister of the transitional period Abdoulaye Maiga said that the terrorists pursued several goals
Mali's transitional government Prime Minister Abdoulaye Maiga stated that radical groups launched coordinated attacks on April 25 in about 20 cities and towns, attempting to seize power and end the transition period. Government forces neutralized hundreds of terrorists. The attacks came as Colonel Assimi Goita, who rose to power through two military coups since 2020, has been approved to lead until at least 2030.
