Europe just crossed 300 MiCA-licensed crypto firms. 70% are custody plays—this isn't a coincidence.
Germany leading with 69 entities. They're positioning as the EU's crypto banking hub while everyone else is still figuring out paperwork.
More interesting: 55+ traditional banks now in the registry. TradFi isn't watching from the sidelines anymore—they're building the rails.
Custody dominance = institutional infrastructure being laid. When the next cycle rips, Europe won't be scrambling for compliant on-ramps. They're already here.
MiCA might be bureaucratic hell, but it's creating a moat. US still fighting over basic frameworks while EU banks are custody-ready.
Bullish for $BTC $ETH institutional flow into Europe. Regulatory clarity > regulatory chaos.
