Bybit Smashes EU Regulatory Hurdle: Snags MiCAR License in Austria, Plants Flag in Vienna
Europe’s crypto landscape just got hotter. Bybit—the exchange that refuses to sit still—has outmaneuvered regulators again, securing a MiCAR license in Austria and setting up shop in Vienna. No more begging for scraps at the EU’s table.
Strategic beachhead or regulatory arbitrage? The timing’s suspiciously good—just as traditional finance giants start ’exploring digital assets’ (read: panicking). Bybit’s move screams ’first-mover advantage’ while legacy banks are still drafting their third compliance memo.
One question remains: Will Vienna’s coffeehouses start accepting USDT tips now?
