CoinShares Becomes First EU Asset Manager to Secure MiCA License

CoinShares Asset Management has made history as the first continental European firm to obtain regulatory approval under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. The French subsidiary now holds a trifecta of financial licenses, positioning it as a leader in institutional crypto services.

The MiCA authorization unlocks pan-European portfolio management and advisory services across all crypto asset classes. This milestone follows CoinShares' existing Alternative Investment Fund Management and MiFID licenses, creating a comprehensive regulatory profile spanning both traditional and digital assets.

Market observers note the approval signals growing institutional acceptance of crypto assets within EU financial frameworks. The license enables CoinShares to offer crypto investment vehicles and advisory services to professional investors across member states.
