Coinbase & Gemini Race for MiCA Licenses: Malta and Luxembourg Become Crypto Gateways
Crypto heavyweights are scrambling to secure EU footholds before MiCA''s hammer drops. Coinbase and Gemini—no strangers to regulatory chess—are betting big on Malta and Luxembourg as their golden tickets.
Why these tiny powerhouses? Light-touch regulators and tax havens make them ideal launchpads for the coming crypto gold rush. The EU''s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework is about to rewrite the rulebook—and these exchanges want front-row seats.
Meanwhile, traditional finance dinosaurs are still trying to figure out if Bitcoin is a currency or a collectible. Slow clap.
