Content overview: “BingX and YouHodler Join ESMA MiCA Register as EU Crypto Rules Tighten”. The European Securities and Markets Authority has added crypto exchanges BingX and YouHodler to its official register under the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, alongside Banco Santander’s digital arm Openbank. The update brings the total number of unique crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) authorized across the European Union to 375. MiCA, which sets comprehensive rules for crypto firms, is being rolled out in phases, and inclusion on the ESMA register signals that these platforms have met or are in the process of meeting strict operational and consumer-protection standards.
For investors, this means greater clarity about which exchanges are permitted to operate in the bloc, reducing the risk of using unregulated venues. The addition of a major traditional bank like Santander also highlights how established financial institutions are moving into digital assets under the new framework.
