The CEO and co-founder, Olga Feldmeier, stated in an interview that the company is conducting a strategic review following the receipt of a substantial amount of interest from large global exchanges, cryptocurrency platforms, and traditional financial (TradFi) institutions such as banks and trading platforms. The European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation took effect on December 30th of the previous year, making Smart Valor a potential target for companies operating in Europe without European regulatory approval. Although Switzerland and Liechtenstein (the regulatory jurisdiction of Smart Valor's retail cryptocurrency exchange) are not EU member states, they are part of the European Economic Area (EEA) and can adopt MiCA. Liechtenstein's law will become effective on February 1st.
