MiCA just went fully live today. If you're a crypto company without an EU license, you're officially locked out of serving European users.

A Dubai-based lawyer told me she's now getting 120+ inquiries per week from founders trying to relocate. Half of them are European.

The irony is brutal: regulations designed to "protect" the market are literally pushing it offshore. Europe spent years building this framework, and the main result is a mass exodus to Dubai, Singapore, and other jurisdictions.

This isn't theoretical anymore. It's happening right now. Founders are voting with their feet.
