EU Hits 244 MiCA Licenses: Germany and France Lead, Five Nations at Zero as July 1 Deadline Bites
ESMA data shows 244 MiCA crypto licenses issued as of June 29, 2026. Germany (57) and France (26) account for over one-third of all permits. Five countries have issued zero licenses; Poland's law has been vetoed three times. The July 1 deadline forces unlicensed platforms to cease services, with Binance's Greek application withdrawn due to political interference and Bybit scaling back.
