Crypto Industry Development and Regulations in Germany
Germany has emerged as a leading country in Europe for the crypto industry, with the government actively embracing cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. The aim is to position the nation as a fintech and digitization hub.
According to Nomad Capitalist, 5.8% of the German population owns cryptocurrency, with 69% investing in Bitcoin (BTC). However, there is still a lack of regulatory framework specifically for cryptocurrencies in Germany. The financial authority responsible for overseeing financial markets, BaFin, is expected to provide clearer guidelines following the recent MiCA approval in the European region.
