As of that date, platforms without a full licence can no longer serve EU customers, and anyone still holding crypto on an unlicensed exchange faces disruption. The safe response is simple: keep your crypto on a platform that holds a real <a href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/blog\/glossary\/mica\/\">MiCA CASP authorisation<\/a> and plans to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paybis is one of them. It has operated since 2014 and now holds that authorisation in full. This page covers both sides of the story: what the licensing shake-out means, and what you actually get when you use Paybis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Only around 200 platforms cleared the bar<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"text-bg-color\" id=\"block_a512241cf25bb544d60bb964a401b5f1\">\r    <div class=\"text-bg-color__content\">\r                <p><strong>Out of more than 3,000 crypto firms operating in Europe before MiCA, only about 200 secured a full licence by the deadline. Several well-known names did not make it.<\/strong><\/p>\n    <\/div>\r<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The new rules turned out to be a high bar. Of the 3,000-plus crypto companies that operated across Europe before MiCA, only around 200 held a full CASP authorisation when the transitional period ended. Paybis is one of them. The rest either missed the window or chose to step back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Binance is the headline case, and it is far from alone. As the deadline passed, a long line of well-known exchanges had no CASP authorisation and began restricting or withdrawing services for EU users:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Binance<\/strong>, the largest exchange by volume, withdrew its licence application days before the deadline and is winding down its EU services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>KuCoin, MEXC, and Bitget<\/strong> entered July with no CASP authorisation on the EU register.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>BingX, Phemex, BloFin, and Upbit<\/strong> are absent from the register too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your funds on these platforms are not gone. Most are running an orderly wind-down, so withdrawals stay open for now. If your crypto is sitting on one of them, it is worth moving to a licensed platform or a wallet you control before access tightens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is where Paybis comes in. If you were a user of any platform that did not make the list, you are welcome here. Moving over is quick: verify your account, then send your crypto to your Paybis wallet or buy fresh with a card or bank transfer.

One licence covers you across all 27 member states.<\/strong><\/p>\n    <\/div>\r<\/div>\n\n\n<p>For European users, the MiCA authorisation matters in a practical way. Because it passports across the EU, the same protections apply whether you are in Latvia or another member state. And because Paybis has run since 2014, that licence sits on top of a long track record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>7 million users<\/strong> across 180+ countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Close to $6 billion<\/strong> in annual trading volume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4.1 out of 5 on Trustpilot<\/strong>, across more than 31,900 reviews.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That mix of a current licence and a decade of operating is what a platform built to stay looks like. If you want the wider view of who else made the list, the <a href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/blog\/tags\/business\/mica\/\">MiCA content hub<\/a> tracks the regulation as it develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The July 1 deadline reshaped crypto in Europe. Around 200 platforms cleared the licensing bar, and some familiar names did not. What matters for you is simple: keep your crypto somewhere licensed and built to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paybis fits that description, with a full MiCA authorisation behind a service that has made buying crypto easy since 2014. If your coins are sitting somewhere you are unsure about, now is a good moment to move them. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/\">buy crypto on Paybis<\/a> with a card or bank transfer in minutes, then send them straight to a wallet you control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Paybis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Paybis is a licensed cryptocurrency exchange and on and off-ramp, operating since 2014. It holds MiCA CASP authorisation and a PSD2 Payment Institution licence from the Bank of Latvia. On top of that, it carries FinCEN registration in the US. It also holds FINTRAC registration and a VASP registration in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform serves 7 million users across 180+ countries and supports 90+ cryptocurrencies through 22 payment methods.
