European crypto users show greater confidence in regulated firms under MiCA, per Bitpanda co‑CEO

According to Cointelegraph, Christian Trummer, co‑CEO of Bitpanda, said during an interview on Cointelegraph’s Chain Reaction that the Markets in Crypto‑Assets regulation has increased trust among European users in regulated platforms. He noted that under MiCA the regulatory framework applies to crypto exchanges and other service providers offering crypto assets to retail investors.

Trummer observed that the introduction of clearer rules for custodial services, disclosure requirements and minimum capital standards appears to have given users more confidence when choosing a regulated firm rather than self‑custody options. He emphasized that the regulatory clarity reduces uncertainty around compliance obligations for providers.
