Revolut becomes MiCA-compliant: a huge milestone for regulated crypto in Europe 🇪🇺 This marks a major step forward in Europe’s transition toward a transparent, compliant, and scalable digital asset ecosystem. As Juan Ignacio Ibañez, General Secretary of the MiCA Crypto Alliance, commented: ‘We see MiCA as the banking-grade regulation for crypto. As such, it is not only a sign of the maturity of the sector and its 'graduation' to the 'adults in the room', but also an entry point for traditional financial actors into the Web3 world. At the same time, obtaining a MiCA licence is markedly difficult, and it is a significant achievement for the team behind the application. For both of these reasons, that a neobank such as Revolut has secured a MiCA licence is a great milestone for the industry.’ At Exponential Science, we see this as an important moment in bridging traditional finance and digital innovation, and a signal that MiCA’s framework is helping unlock the next phase of responsible crypto adoption across Europe.

New Article Alert: When Data Meets Blockchain 📖 In today’s data-driven world, the integrity, provenance, and trustworthiness of data are more critical than ever. Our latest piece explores how blockchain can redefine the very foundation of data engineering pipelines, embedding trust and automation directly into the system. Key takeaways 🔍 • Blockchain can strengthen data pipelines through immutability, smart contracts, and distributed consensus to enhance security and auditability. • But it’s not without challenges: scalability, performance, and interoperability remain major barriers. • Emerging solutions: Layer-2 protocols, cross-chain bridges, and transitioning from PoW to PoS offer promising pathways forward. • The real enabler for adoption? Standardised frameworks and evaluation metrics to bridge blockchain with existing data infrastructure. 🔗 Read the full article by Elizaveta Chesnokova here: https://lnkd.in/dpumPmyn
