Hungary has repealed its mandatory cryptocurrency validator requirement, as reported by crypto.news, following a parliamentary vote. This move, not officially confirmed by government or first-party sources, aims to align Hungary’s crypto regulations with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. The repeal is expected to facilitate the restoration of services by crypto firms such as CoinCash, which has reportedly received Hungary’s first MiCA license. The previous framework had imposed strict compliance and criminal penalties, leading to reduced trading activity and the withdrawal of several companies from the Hungarian market. The reported changes are intended to support market recovery and regulatory harmonization, but official confirmation is still pending.
