Blueprint for a Regulated Crypto Future: How Revolut, Blockchain.com, and Relai Are Pioneering Under MiCA

A new blueprint for crypto operations in Europe is being written by Revolut, Blockchain.com, and Relai, all of which have now secured foundational MiCA licenses.

These approvals demonstrate how major players are adapting to the EU’s comprehensive regulatory framework. Revolut will use its Cypriot license to market services across the EEA, Blockchain.com plans to scale “institutional-grade” tools from Malta, and Relai gains a crucial foothold via France.

Their success provides a clear case study for other firms navigating the transition from temporary VASP registrations to full CASP licensure, heralding a more structured and secure era for the digital asset industry in Europe.
