BingX and YouHodler Added to ESMA MiCA Register

(6 hours ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto

Crypto exchanges BingX and YouHodler have been added to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) register under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The additions were part of the latest update to the register, which tracks crypto-asset service providers authorized to operate in the European Union.

WHY IT MATTERS

Think of the ESMA MiCA register like a public list of restaurants that have passed a health inspection. Being on the list means a crypto company has gone through a regulatory review process to operate in the European Union. MiCA, which stands for Markets in Crypto-Assets, is the EU's rulebook for crypto companies, similar to how banks and stock brokers have rules they must follow. For people new to crypto, this matters because it shows that major governments are creating formal systems to oversee crypto businesses, which could affect which platforms are available to users in different countries and what protections those users might have. However, being on the register does not guarantee the safety of any platform or its services.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) maintains a public register of crypto-asset service providers that have been authorized or registered under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.
