EU MiCA transition ends July 1, 2026, putting up to 75% of crypto firms at risk of losing authorization

The European Union’s transition period under its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework ends July 1, 2026, after which crypto firms without full authorization may be barred from serving EU customers. An estimated three-quarters of regional companies could be affected. The change marks a hard cutoff for firms that have not obtained a full crypto-asset service provider license.
