Regulators all across the world are deliberately putting influence on cryptocurrency operations. The National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) of Spain seems to be the newest regulator to give a statement about unlicensed services throughout the cryptocurrency and finance sectors.
As per the official statement, the CNMV issued a notice to 12 organisations on Monday for failing to report in the commission’s relevant registration. The organisations on the listing, which also include prominent crypto exchange systems like Huobi and By bit, are prohibited from providing investment services in Spain.

According to the CNMV’s consulting site, only licensed companies are permitted to perform securities-related operations. While the CNMV doesn’t even have the jurisdiction to prohibit a corporation from functioning in the nation, it can take the matter to the judiciary. According to a survey published in November by Crypto Company Guide in Spain, there’s already 120 crypto businesses registered as well as functioning in the country.
Last year, Spain created a favorable atmosphere for cryptocurrency businesses. The Committee on Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation enacted a law to establish an environment for fintech, according to Techtimes.com.
Professor Ismael Santiago of the University of Seville told Cointelegraph that now the sandbox will help with “creating fresh value-added employment, technology advancement, and economic productivity.”
