Blockchain.com Secures MiCA License, Expands Regulated Crypto Access Across Europe

Blockchain.com has obtained its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license from the Maltese Financial Services Authority, enabling the company to offer crypto services across all 30 European Economic Area countries under a unified regulatory framework. This milestone underscores the platform's commitment to compliance and positions it as a key player in Europe's evolving digital asset landscape.

The MiCA framework introduces standardized rules for custody, asset issuance, and consumer protection, creating a harmonized environment for crypto innovation. "Malta’s regulatory clarity and strategic position make it the ideal hub to scale Blockchain.com’s European operations," said CEO Peter Smith. The company has appointed financial services veteran Fiorentina D’Amore to lead its EU strategy execution.

This development signals growing institutional confidence in crypto regulation, with Blockchain.com setting new benchmarks for transparency and security in the region. The license paves the way for broader adoption by aligning crypto services with traditional financial standards.
