While the US may lead in crypto trading volume, Europe leads the market in global cryptocurrency transaction value, accounting for 37.32%. 

Europe is one of the most proactive regions in the world when it comes to defining its cryptocurrency industry through regulations. These regulations are designed to help lawmakers understand financial technology and provide traders and exchanges with clear guidelines for navigating the market.

The European Union’s landmark Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation came into partial effect on June 30, focusing on stablecoins. In December, additional regulations for crypto asset service providers are set to come into effect.

This legislative framework, which has been in the works since 2020, is the EU’s first set of uniform market rules for crypto assets.
