Greece appeared in the EU MiCA register for the first time with four providers listed: BCASH, XENIOS Blockchain Group, Capital Wallet Greece, and Piraeus Bank. In parallel, Greece’s HCMC expanded its denial of remarks attributed to officials in a report tied to Binance.

What it means
For people using or providing crypto services in Greece, the first MiCA register entry means four providers are now named in the EU framework, and one of them is a bank overseen by the Bank of Greece. That makes the country’s regulatory setup visible in a way that was not shown in the register before today.
In practice, the register now shows which Greek firms are included under MiCA and which authority sits over them, with the HCMC covering three providers and the central bank covering Piraeus Bank. What stays the same is that the register entry itself does not explain any operational changes for customers or firms beyond those listings.
