Bitpanda to Cease Services for Dutch Residents in Compliance with Regulatory Requirements

The cryptocurrency exchange Bitpanda announced plans to cease services for residents of the Netherlands. This action comes in response to the recent changes in local regulations.

Netherlands and the EU Crypto Regulation

The Netherlands is a part of the European Union (EU), a trading bloc that includes 27 nations. The EU recently introduced its comprehensive Markets in Crypto Asset legislation (MiCA) that allows for companies to apply for a single license in one EU nation and subsequently operate throughout the entire EU.
