Malta's speed in securing MiCA approval actually has a traceable behind-the-scenes story.

The local VFA framework was already quite comprehensive years ago—regulatory boundaries are clear, and compliance pathways are well-defined, essentially building the scaffold in advance according to MiCA standards.

For example, a leading exchange started establishing roots there as early as 2018, gradually running through the entire chain from VFA Class 4 to MiCA CASP 3. This proactive positioning strategy now proves one thing: in the path of compliance, jumping ahead is much easier than catching up.

I've long seen it clearly; Malta's move this time truly demonstrates superior strategy. The VFA framework is so solidly established; MiCA coming is just an upgrade. Others started laying the groundwork as early as 2018, and we're still catching up now. The gap is not just a little. Actually, it's a matter of choosing the right track—entering early means profit. Wait, how many projects are only now realizing they need to go compliant... Jumping out quickly is really key; latecomers still want to overtake on the bend? Dream on. By the way, what is the status of those exchanges that established themselves earliest? They've definitely made a profit.

It's been obvious for a long time. True big players never compete with retail investors for the trending opportunities; laying low in advance is the key. While we're still studying the documents, they've already gone compliant and are laying low.

Indeed, Malta's move this time is quite bold... The VFA framework had already paved the way, no wonder exchanges are all heading there.

Ha, Malta has indeed played it well this time, they started laying the groundwork early Rooted in 2018? How happy are those exchanges laughing now The thing about compliance race, frankly, is the difference between having foresight and not having it Others are still exploring now, but they have already cleared the entire process Wait, if you look at it this way, wouldn't Asia fall behind again Only now realizing that learning from Malta feels already too late But on the other hand, can early positioning really save so much trouble... I somewhat understand why those exchanges are so eager to go overseas This is the era of regulatory dividends, grabbing the first move is too important If I had known earlier, I should have started planning in Malta back in 2018 They laid the foundation with the VFA framework, now transitioning directly to MiCA, that’s an excellent approach But the real test probably starts now...

Jumping the gun is really a trick; those exchanges that were already laid out in Malta are now laughing the most comfortably.
