👉 Coinbase Obtains License To Operate In Bermuda
Coinbase has been granted a Class F license by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA), allowing the US crypto exchange to operate as a digital asset exchange in Bermuda.
The move comes as part of Coinbase’s international expansion drive, and follows CEO Brian Armstrong’s indication that the exchange may consider moving out of the US if clear crypto regulation is not enacted.
Coinbase has not yet announced what services it will offer in Bermuda, but has recently hired a country director for Canada and signed a Pre-Registration Undertaking as a stepping stone to becoming a registered exchange there.
👉 Landmark MiCA Regulation Passes EU Parliamentary Vote
The European Union (EU) has passed the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation, which provides clarity on the scope and definitions of crypto regulation and hopes to attract digital asset businesses.
Under the regulation, crypto asset service providers with a license in one EU member state will legally have access to the entire EU market. Traditional finance firms can also choose licensed partners to work with when developing their crypto solutions.
The legislation will come into effect in July after being formally approved by the EU’s 27 member states.

Bankrupt cryptocurrency lender Voyager Digital Holdings has reached an agreement with the US government, allowing a $1 billion deal with Binance US to proceed.
