Whales control XRP. They want you out.

[Dom Kwok | EasyA @dom_kwok]

today, @ripple received preliminary MiCA approval to offer regulated crypto payment services across europe.

TLDR MiCA approval allows ripple to legally offer its crypto and stablecoin payment services to banks and businesses across Europe.

here's why it might be one of the most important milestones to date and what it means for the rest of crypto:

1/ MiCA is considered the "gold standard" for crypto regulation

approval is a major stamp of legitimacy, allowing a company to offer its financial services across the entire EU.

2/ regulators gave ripple a "green light letter"

this means ripple met their main requirements pending a few final conditions before a full license is granted.

3/ regulated crypto payments are coming!

the license enables ripple to offer financial infrastructure to european banks and businesses, allowing them to use ripple's tech (including its stablecoin $RLUSD).

this means institutions can finally use its tech to send money across borders in a legal and compliant manner.

needless to say, lock in.

[Ripple @Ripple]

More licensing momentum!

Ripple has secured its preliminary Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license in Luxembourg, paving the way for the full rollout of Ripple Payments across the EEA and full MiCA compliance: https://t.co/maJOvuNehw

The next wave of regulated digital asset adoption in Europe is here and it’s powered by Ripple.
