The addition of these six banks brings the total number of financial institutions that have been registered under MiCA to 24. The updated register includes several major banking groups, including Raiffeisen Bank International AG and UniCredit SpA.

This latest development underscores Germany's position as a leader in the implementation of MiCA regulations. The country has been at the forefront of efforts to establish clear guidelines for cryptocurrency and asset service providers within the EU.
