<p class="is-style-lead">In an Oct. 19 post on X, Bitpanda, the European crypto exchange, announced their receipt of a VASP license in Norway. This makes the exchange the first non-local entity to achieve this milestone.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A VASP license is a legal authorization granted by a local regulatory authority which allows users to provide services related to virtual assets. Amid global regulatory uncertainty, many European countries have since introduced regulations requiring VASPs to obtain a license.</p>
