Key Takeaways MiFID II is the EU's investment-services rulebook: it governs crypto derivatives such as futures, perpetuals, options and CFDs, while spot crypto sits under MiCA. A platform needs a MiFID II investment-firm licence to offer these legally to EU clients. Crypto-native venues Kraken, OKX, Coinbase, One Trading and Robinhood now run MiFID II-regulated crypto futures for EEA clients, mostly at up to 10x, alongside long-standing brokers like eToro and Bitpanda that offer crypto CFDs at the retail 2:1 cap.
