The Bank of Spain established a registry for crypto service providers in 2021, and since then, notable firms such as Binance, Bitstamp, and banking platform BVNK have also registered with the regulatory authority. With the finalization of the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework, regulators in member states like Spain will soon implement new standards and requirements in line with the framework.
