@lava_xyz Aaaand, still can't deposit stablecoins on other chains...11 days after this announcement...I really don't get it - why have you made the annoucement at all...🤔
We compared fee mechanics, vesting, immutability, and other considerations across seven major launch platforms.
Just two use auction-based price discovery.
And only one has protected fee routing, onchain fee direction, and a native coordination layer built in.

3. User Experience
- Clean and intuitive UX
- Clear guides and onboarding

- Detailed spending analytics
- Self-custody until the moment of payment (nice to have)
4. Wealth & Investing

What features matter most to you?
What did I miss?
MiCA forced a wave of major global exchanges to restrict or shut down service across the EU.
Several ranked among the deepest order books in crypto, and EU traders lost access to them overnight.
