Removed an unverified citation to a European Banking Authority opinion (EBA/Op/2022/10) that appeared both in a blockquote and in the reference list; other figures (capital tiers, e-money capital requirements, crypto tax rates, MiCA regulation dates) were confirmed accurate.
Before> The Banco de Portugal's approach to fintech licensing has been characterized as thorough but cooperative... as confirmed in EBA/Op/2022/10, which endorsed the BdP's pre-application consultation model.
After> The Banco de Portugal's approach to fintech licensing has been characterized as thorough but cooperative. Unlike some European regulators that maintain a strict arms-length relationship during the application process, the BdP's fintech team is known for engaging in substantive dialogue with applicants, providing feedback on draft applications, and flagging potential issues before formal submission.
Why: An unverified citation to a European Banking Authority opinion (EBA/Op/2022/10) was unverified to support a claim about BdP's cooperative licensing approach; the opinion does not exist and was removed from both the blockquote and the reference list.
