The race is on: neobanks, brokers, other fintechs and even traditional banks are all moving quickly to secure their MiCA licenses before transition periods end. 👏 Congrats to Trade Republic—and to German regulator BaFin, which has granted an impressive 9 of the first 25 MiCA CASP licenses across the EU --> 36% (!) of all EU CASP licenses were granted in Germany as of today 🇩🇪
