According to The Block, Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, stated that after the full implementation of the European Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), about 80% of crypto exchanges will be unable to continue operating in the EU.

Starting from July 1, platforms that have not obtained MiCA authorization will no longer be allowed to provide crypto services to EU users. Currently, 20 of the 27 EU member states have ended the transition period, while about 60% of European crypto users remain on unauthorized platforms.

As of June 18, more than 200 crypto asset service providers (CASP) have obtained formal MiCA authorization, including OKX, Coinbase, and Kraken, and Ripple has also received preliminary approval from Luxembourg regulators.

Ghoos believes that MiCA will drive significant consolidation in the European crypto exchange market, with future trading volumes dominated by a few licensed platforms with stronger compliance capabilities.
