How many crypto firms have secured MiCA authorisation?

Data cited from the European Securities and Markets Authority shows that about 210 of more than 1,200 crypto asset service providers have obtained full MiCA authorisation. This suggests that roughly 83% of firms operating under previous frameworks have not yet completed the process.
