  Under the MIFID regulation, cryptocurrency exchanges are required to meet certain criteria to qualify as professional clients. These criteria include having a certain level of trading activity, having a certain level of financial expertise, and meeting certain financial thresholds. By meeting these criteria, cryptocurrency exchanges can gain access to a wider range of financial products and services that are only available to professional clients. This allows them to offer more options and benefits to their customers.
