Europe Had 3,167 Crypto Firms – After July 1st, Just 244 Are Legal

Published

on

MiCA’s licensing deadline has quietly erased up to 92% of Europe’s crypto companies, concentrated what survived in Germany, and left the world’s largest exchange and largest stablecoin outside the regulated market.

Vilnius, Lithuania- On July 1st, the transitional window under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) closed for good, with no extension. When it did, just 244 firms held a full crypto-asset service provider (CASP) licence — down from more than 3,167 entities that operated across Europe under national registrations before MiCA. Measured against that base, roughly 92% of the market did not survive the transition; even against a narrower count of about 1,200 formally registered firms, four in five did not convert.

A new analysis from independent research publication Stack & Story, “Survival of the Licensed,” maps who cleared the bar, who did not, and what the cull means for the future of European crypto. The full piece, with data visualisations, is available at stackandstory.com.

Key findings

  • A market cut to a fraction. 244 authorised CASPs remain across 25 jurisdictions, alongside 20 licensed e-money-token (stablecoin) issuers and zero authorised asset-referenced-token issuers — not a single multi-asset stablecoin cleared the bar.
  • Germany won the reset. With 57 licences (about 23% of the entire bloc) and top passporting-hub status, Germany now hosts more than double second-placed France and the Netherlands (26 each).
  • Five member states issued none. Greece, Hungary, Poland, Portugal and Romania granted zero authorisations. Poland could not license anyone at all, after its implementing law was repeatedly vetoed by the president.
  • The biggest names are out. Binance withdrew its application days before the deadline and restricted EU services; Tether never applied, and licensed exchanges delisted its USDT, cutting Europe’s regulated venues off from roughly $185 billion of the world’s most-traded stablecoin. Circle (USDC and EURC) is the only top-ten stablecoin issuer that qualified.
  • A last-minute scramble. More than a third of all licences were granted in the final ten weeks, as the count jumped from 177 in late April to 244 by July 2.
  • Concentration by design. Only 14 firms across the EU were authorised to run a full order-book trading platform — the venues where crypto prices are formed now run through a very small number of licensed hands.

“The headline number is dramatic, but the real story is structural. Europe traded breadth for order. It now has a licensed, passportable, institution-ready core — and it paid for that with a long tail of small firms and the absence of the world’s largest exchange and stablecoin from its regulated venues. And the rulebook everyone just raced to meet is already being rewritten: the Commission opened a MiCA review the same week the deadline passed,” said a spokesperson for Stack & Story.

The analysis draws on ESMA statements and interim-register data, register mirrors (CASPTracker, Helms Advisory), Coincub’s pre-MiCA registration counts, and a Finray classification of successful authorisations. Stack & Story notes that “survival rate” is not an official metric and presents both the 7.7% (widest base) and ~20% (narrow base) framings; the 244 figure is a post-deadline register read.

MTLI Group Brings a Unified Approach to Complex U.S. Facility Projects

Published

on

United States, 22nd Aug 2026 — Managing a modern industrial or commercial facility often requires more than completing a construction project. From engineering and equipment installation to automation, facility transitions, and ongoing maintenance, organizations may need multiple specialized teams to work together without disrupting operations. MTLI Group of Companies is addressing this challenge through an integrated infrastructure model designed to bring these requirements under one accountable structure.

Founded in 1982, MTLI Group has spent more than four decades developing infrastructure solutions for organizations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. With more than 15,000 completed projects, 100+ professionals, and a network of 800+ vendors and partners, the company is positioned to support complex programs involving multiple facilities, trades, locations, and project phases.

“Complex facilities require coordination long after the first construction activity begins,” said Mitchell Learning, CEO of MTLI Group. “Our integrated structure allows us to remain involved across multiple stages so clients can approach infrastructure development and change as one connected program.”

Reducing Fragmentation Across Facility Programs

One of the challenges associated with major facility projects is coordination. A construction contractor may complete one phase, an automation specialist may handle another, and separate providers may be responsible for installation, relocation, maintenance, or recovery.

MTLI Group takes a different approach by combining these capabilities within a broader infrastructure platform. Engineering, project management, construction, installation, automation, transitions, and lifecycle services can be coordinated through a single delivery structure.

This model is designed to provide clients with greater visibility into project schedules, costs, safety requirements, and execution while reducing the need to manage numerous independent workstreams.

Building Infrastructure Around Operational Requirements

The growing adoption of automation is changing the way warehouses and distribution facilities are designed and operated. Warehouse automation can involve sophisticated equipment and technology, but successful implementation also depends on the surrounding physical infrastructure.

As a warehouse automation company, MTLI Group supports projects where automation needs to be considered alongside construction, installation, electrical systems, controls, equipment placement, and facility operations. This integrated perspective can help organizations approach automation as part of the overall facility rather than as a separate technology project.

MTLI’s role can extend from engineering and planning through installation and commissioning, helping coordinate the transition from project design to operational infrastructure.

Supporting Commercial and Industrial Development

Facility requirements can vary significantly between commercial properties, manufacturing environments, distribution centers, and logistics operations. MTLI Group provides construction capabilities designed to accommodate these different environments.

As a commercial construction company, the organization supports commercial facility projects, modifications, buildouts, and infrastructure improvements. Its capabilities as a commercial general contractor allow it to coordinate construction activities with other project requirements and specialized trades.

MTLI also provides design build construction services, connecting engineering and construction considerations within the same project framework. This approach can help streamline communication between planning and field execution while creating clearer accountability throughout development.

For manufacturing and industrial environments, MTLI operates as an industrial construction company, supporting projects that may require coordination between structural work, equipment installation, automation, electrical systems, and ongoing facility operations.

Infrastructure Support Beyond the Build

For MTLI Group, facility delivery does not necessarily end when construction is complete. Buildings and industrial environments require continued attention as equipment ages, operational requirements change, and businesses expand or relocate.

Through its capabilities as a facility management company, MTLI supports ongoing maintenance, inspections, repairs, equipment services, troubleshooting, and infrastructure optimization.

The company also provides facility transition and asset recovery services for organizations moving, consolidating, expanding, or redesigning operations. Equipment and infrastructure can be dismantled, relocated, recovered, reinstalled, or redeployed as part of broader transition programs.

About MTLI Group of Companies

MTLI Group of Companies is an integrated industrial and commercial infrastructure platform serving the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Founded in 1982, the company specializes in engineering, automation, construction, installation, logistics, facility transitions, asset recovery, and lifecycle support.

MTLI’s experience includes more than 15,000 completed projects, supported by 100+ professionals and a network of 800+ trusted vendors and partners. The company is structured to manage multi-site, multi-trade, and multi-phase programs while maintaining a centralized approach to project accountability.

Rather than limiting its role to traditional contracting, MTLI works as a long-term infrastructure partner, supporting clients from early planning and design through installation, maintenance, transitions, and ongoing performance optimization.
