TRM Labs reports that MiCA regulation has led to 80% of European crypto firms losing authorization, consolidating the market and isolating high-risk firms. Jurisdictions with early licensing capacity licensed most firms, while others like Poland and Lithuania saw almost complete purging.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

European crypto founders face a rapid market contraction where only the licensed firms will survive. Prepare to target the abandoned customers and anticipate a reshaping in stablecoin access rules.
