NEAR Intents surpasses $20 billion in cross-chain transaction volume, doubling since February NEAR (@NEARProtocol) Intents has surpassed $20 billion in all-time total cross-chain transaction volume, with about half of that occurring since February.

CoinShares says it's the first regulated European manager to pull all three under one roof, operating under MiCA, MiFID, and AIFMD.

Europe has just set a strict deadline. No extensions. On July 1st, the MiCA grace period will end across the EU.

Estimates show that 41% of cryptocurrency app downloads in Europe over the past year were for exchanges not on the approved list. Millions of users and platforms may have to withdraw. One month left.
