Europe’s crypto market is changing rapidly. Since we knew that the uniform MiCA rules were coming, the number of investors has been growing rapidly.
Digital assets are becoming an integral part of portfolios. But who actually invests the most – and why?
Market analyzes show that the strongest growth in the number of cryptocurrency owners is in Central and Eastern Europe, while the largest sums are invested in economically stronger Western Europe.
Germany is the front runner
Germany, France and the Netherlands are among the largest markets for Bitcoin and Co in terms of trading volume and institutional activity.
Germany in particular benefits from the increasing number of regulated providers, a strong FinTech sector and more and more crypto-savvy investors.
At the same time, the Eastern European states of Poland, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria are rapidly catching up. Here, younger, digitally savvy population groups in particular are driving the growth of crypto assets.
Eastern Europe is quickly catching up
The entry threshold is low, interest in alternative forms of investment is high, and the economic uncertainty of recent years has increased interest in independent forms of investment. In some Eastern European countries, the proportion of the population with crypto ownership is already above the EU average.
Another driver is the institutions. European asset managers, banks and family offices are investing more and more in Bitcoin, Ethereum and tokenized RWA. The MiCA regulation acts like a catalyst here.
Trust through legal certainty
Legal certainty creates trust, and trust creates capital inflows. Crypto financial systems are emerging particularly in Luxembourg, Switzerland – not in the EU, but closely interconnected – and Liechtenstein, which specifically attract institutional investors.
Legal certainty is the common basis of motivation in the different regions of Europe. While investors in Western Europe tend to view cryptocurrencies as a long-term investment, in Southern and Eastern Europe the tangible, pragmatic reasons dominate.
These include protection against inflation, access to global markets and the certainty of being able to build and hold assets independently of banks.
All of these positive effects of the EU MiCA Regulation are taking Europe into a new phase in terms of the importance of forms of investment and thus their growth. Cryptoassets are gaining an increasingly broader base among the EU population.
They are no longer an investment niche for the initiated. They have arrived in the middle of Europe, which has accepted cryptocurrencies and made them socially acceptable.
ABN AMRO is a Dutch full-service bank headquartered in Amsterdam, serving private and business customers.
Its German subsidiary Hauck Aufhäuser Digital Custody has now received a MiCA license from BaFin.
The MICA regulation came into force at the end of 2024 and is intended to harmonize the previously inconsistent EU crypto regulation and give service providers from different countries of origin the opportunity to offer their services across the EU via so-called “passporting”.
ABN AMRO through MiCA license in the EU internal market
Die Hauck Aufhäuser Digital Custody GmbH HADC, which emerged from the Hauck Aufhäuser Lamp Privatbank and has been part of the ABN Amro Group since 2025, is becoming a pioneer in the custody and management of crypto assets.
But the license not only allows custody and administration, but also the execution of transactions on behalf of institutional investors. This means that customers benefit from a combination of 230 years of banking tradition, focused expertise, international reach and an A rating. HADC board member Dr. Holger Sepp explained:
“Our depository stands for something that is particularly valuable these days: continuity and partnership. We build on our special positioning in the German market: as a medium-sized company, we have a pronounced agility and maintain personal exchanges with our customers.”
In this way, ABN Amro is strengthening its position as a “European bank”. The MiCA license is the most important regulatory basis for trust and legal certainty, especially for institutional investors who have previously been hesitant to take larger exposures to the crypto market.
Through European approval ABN Amro can now offer its digital asset services across the entire EU internal market and secure decisive market shares at an early stage.
At the same time, the expansion makes it clear that large banks no longer view crypto custody as a niche, but increasingly as a strategic business area of high relevance.
For the market as a whole, the license is a signal that the regulatory basis has been created to integrate digital assets into the mainstream of the financial world, with all the opportunities and risks – and legally secure investor protection.
Bitcoin continues to trade between $84,000 and $95,000: low volatility, technical holding mode.
BTC/Gold looks oversold while on-chain data remains mixed.
At the end of the year, Bitcoin continues to move in a technically delicate area, with the price in the last few days more like a stablecoin. Since November 23rd, the BTC price has been stuck in the zone between $84,000 and $95,000.
According to Chartered Market Technician (CMT) and former fund manager Aksel Kibar, after an extremely volatile top phase (“broadening pattern”) followed by a sharp sell-off, Bitcoin has now slipped into a phase of low volatility. The price is currently stabilizing in a range between $84,000 and $95,000.
“We are in the middle of the process. Volatility runs in cycles. High volatility is now followed by a phase of low volatility – until we find a clean chart pattern that can be traded in a targeted manner,” writes the renowned chart analyst via X.

Bitcoin/Gold: Oversold like never before
At the same time, some market observers are focusing on the relative valuation compared to gold. YouTuber Furkan Yildirim posted a BTC/Gold chart with the note: “Bitcoin has never been as oversold relative to gold as it is currently. Interestingly, the lows were formed at exactly these points in time and Bitcoin was then able to march upwards. Is history repeating itself or is everything different this time, what do you think?”
Bitcoin has never been so oversold relative to gold, source: @FurkanCCTV on X
Chart analyst Christopher Inks (@TXWestCapital) sees it similarly. While other analysts are panicking that Bitcoin could fall lower, Inks is projecting a bullish chart pattern. “I have seen several BTC/Gold line charts that virtually guarantee you further Bitcoin downward pressure. […] It is possible that an ascending triangle has formed and the price is heading straight back to the ascending support line.”

In addition, like Yildirim, Inks also references the RSI in the weekly chart. “Every time in Bitcoin’s history when the RSI in this chart has fallen into oversold territory, it marked the bottom of the respective correction. That doesn’t mean that it necessarily has to be the same this time – it can always be different.”
On-chain data: Realized losses remain high
While technical traders wait for clean setups, on-chain data shows a mixed picture. Glassnode Lead Analyst CryptoVizArt reports via

The second sentence is crucial: “Although the price has stabilized above the true market mean (US$81,000), selling at a loss, triggered by the time-related frustration of the top buyers, has not decreased significantly.” This means that the bottom may still not be reached.
Axel Adler Jr. interpreted the same loss dynamic as a “regime shift” after a capitulation phase. In his Morning Brief (“Capitulation Behind Us: Seller Pressure Down 80%”) he summarizes the core thesis as follows:
“Three months of data show a radical regime change. November’s capitulation, with a Z-score between 8 and 11, marked the maximum stress point of the cycle. Since then, the 7-day average of realized losses has fallen from $2.4 billion to $0.5 billion, a decline of around 80 percent.”

Adler also refers to the “Bitcoin Net Realized Profit/Loss (7D SMA)”: Although the value is still negative, the direction is “clearly upwards,” and the depth of the negative swings “almost halved” in the last week of December. According to Adler, the approach to the zero line is a harbinger of a change in mood, but explicitly conditional: a real turnaround requires new demand.
The bottom line is that at the end of the year, Bitcoin looks less like a trend market than like a market that is in the discovery phase. However, this is not unusual either. The turn of the year is traditionally a quieter phase on the financial markets. Technically, the $95,000 level remains the key resistance, while $84,000 is key support for the bulls.

Some imagine that is linked to the continued battle between Russia and Ukraine, as believers referenced a earlier phrase from the astrologer, ‘Inside two cities, there can be scourges the like of which was by no means seen’.
