On this Market Cap episode, Ramin Kader, Director of Markets & Institutions at @bitvavocom, joins our Director of Institutional Partnerships @stefanosanabria. Ramin explains how Bitvavo built 50% of global EUR-denominated crypto spot volume, how retail demand helped create a liquidity flywheel, and why EUR liquidity matters to institutions that don't want to take unnecessary FX exposure. He also discusses MiCA’s impact on the European exchange landscape, why only a fraction of previously active firms obtained authorization, what institutions actually require from an exchange, and why some now want T+1/T+2 settlement despite crypto’s ability to settle instantly.
