2024 marked a transformative year for the European crypto market 🌍 Euro-denominated trade volumes surged to multi-year highs in November, reflecting both rising global adoption and unique regional dynamics. Exchanges responded by listing a record number of EUR trading pairs to meet growing demand. A key driver? The implementation of the #MiCA regulation in June, which created a safer and more transparent ecosystem, boosting confidence in EUR-backed stablecoins and drawing new participants. As one of the largest EUR-spot exchanges worldwide, Bitvavo played a pivotal role in this growth, helping shape Europe’s crypto trading landscape. We’ve explored these trends and more in our latest research report. 📊 Discover how Europe is shaping the future of crypto markets: https://lnkd.in/gzDudduA
