Crypto exchanges 22.07: MiCA register hits 294 CASPs

Wednesday, 22 July: Bitcoin opened about two percent higher near 66,500 dollars, but the gain did not hold, and by mid-morning the price had slipped back to around 65,900 dollars, slightly below the previous day, while Ethereum opened trading around 1,930 dollars. There were no new CASP authorisations in the Baltic and Nordic markets on Wednesday, but the picture keeps consolidating: in early July Latvijas Banka granted its tenth CASP licence (to Nodu Digital), and by 21 July the ESMA register held around 294 licensed service providers across twenty-six EU and EEA countries, of which only about 14 may run full trading platforms.

Crypto Cards 23.07.2026: Baltics and Nordics

In the last 24 hours (22nd-23rd July), there have been no new primary developments in the Baltic and Nordic crypto exchange, CASP, hardware wallet, card, and tax tool segments. Therefore, this is an accurately dated explanatory article on an ongoing topic: crypto cards serving users in LV, LT, EE, FI, SE, NO, and DK in 2026. We examine how the MiCA e-money token (EMT) regime, effective from 30th June 2024, impacts stablecoin-backed cards, which issuers (Crypto.com, Kraken Krak, Bybit EU, etc.) with EU authorisations serve the region, how to compare total fees and euro settlements, and why spending with a card is a taxable disposal in most countries within the context of DAC8/CARF reporting.

On Tuesday, 21st July, the cryptocurrency market recovered some of the previous days' losses as investors' risk appetite returned. Bitcoin bounced from support around the $64,000 mark and returned above $65,000, trading in the range of approximately $65,200-$66,400 (around +0.8% to +1% in 24 hours depending on the source), while Ethereum climbed more sharply - to around $1,900-$1,936 (approximately +1.7% to +2%). The total market capitalisation rose to approximately $2.31 trillion (around +1.7% on the day), with Bitcoin dominance slipping to about 56.5%. Despite the rise, the Fear and Greed Index fell to 25 points (extreme fear). The most significant industry event of the day was Grayscale's application for a spot Worldcoin (WLD) ETF, which triggered a rise in WLD's price.
