Recently, Ouinex gained Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration from the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). As Finance Magnates exclusively reported, the KNF’s VASP license was the company's first obtained authorization.

“The VASP registration in Poland is a great achievement and a first step in Europe for us, as we anticipate the implementation of the European Regulation on Crypto Assets (MiCA) at the end of 2024,” said Larbi.

GCEX also received a VASP license a few months ago, not in Poland, but in Dubai, granted by the local VARA.
