The Binance case exposes a structural tension within MiCA, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation: the legal standard is European and uniform, but initial authorisation and primary supervisory responsibility remain national.<\/p>\n
The home Member State supervisor does not grant a merely local licence. It authorises a gateway to the European market.<\/p>\n
And that is the delicate point: once authorisation has been granted, the passport allows the firm to operate throughout the Union, even if other national supervisors had reservations about the same operator.<\/p>\n
ESMA, the European Securities and Markets Authority, can push for convergence, coordinate approaches and warn against regulatory arbitrage. But the ordinary decision to grant a CASP (crypto-asset service provider) licence remains in the hands of national authorities.<\/p>\n
That is why the Binance case should not be read simply as a matter for Greece, nor as a mere administrative withdrawal.<\/p>\n
The underlying question is more serious: can formally uniform European regulation prevent the national gateway from turning into a search for the most accommodating supervisor?<\/p>\n
A large part of MiCA\u2019s practical credibility is at stake here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
