Guardarian CEO eyes US and MENA expansion as crypto market splits into regional regimes
- —Guardarian is targeting MENA and the US, with Asia planned for 2027
- —Only 281 of 1,343 firms tracked by TRM Labs were authorized in the EEA post-MiCA
- —Just 16 of the world's 100 largest exchanges hold a MiCA license, per CASP Tracker
- —India's FIU-IND issued Guardarian a non-compliance notice in September
Why it matters: Regulatory fragmentation forces crypto firms to rebuild business models per market, and a MiCA license alone does not guarantee banking relationships.
