Greece has added its first four providers to the European Union’s MiCA register, marking the country’s initial entries under the bloc’s crypto-asset framework. The Greek regulator also denied that a vice chair told Binance that Christine Lagarde had asked Greece’s prime minister not to approve the application.
Why it matters
MiCA establishes a shared EU framework for crypto-asset markets and service providers. Greece’s first entries put local providers on the register as the framework reshapes how crypto businesses operate across the bloc.
Market impact
The development is a signal of formal crypto-sector participation in Greece, but the seed does not identify the providers or detail the services listed. The regulator’s denial concerns a separate allegation involving Binance, Lagarde and the Greek prime minister; it does not change the reported register entries.
