Binance exits the EU on July 1 after failing to secure a MiCA license.
Story
Binance told EU customers it'll stop serving them from July 1 after failing to obtain MiCA authorization. (Finextra) The largest exchange being forced out shows MiCA has teeth and can force market exits, not just paperwork. If you're building anything crypto or stablecoin-adjacent with EU exposure, this is the regulation actually biting, not threatening. The BIS warned the same week that stablecoins carry design-level structural flaws. (Finextra)
