MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) is now in full effect in the EU. Here's who's compliant:

• #1 Recommended — Fully compliant, has EU license
• Bybit — Has EU entities, but restrictions in some countries
• OKX — Compliant, has MiCA license
• Binance — Has EU licenses but restrictions in some regions

What this means for EU users:

• Stricter KYC requirements
• Lower leverage limits (often 10x max for retail)
• More consumer protection

If you're in the EU, stick with platforms that have clear MiCA compliance. Check before signing up.
