CoinShares Becomes First EU Asset Manager with MiCA License

CoinShares has achieved a regulatory milestone by becoming the first asset management firm in Europe to secure authorization under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The approval, granted by France's AMF, enables the firm to offer crypto portfolio management services across all EU member states.

The license positions CoinShares as the only firm combining MiCA, MiFID, and AIFM approvals—a trifecta that unlocks seamless digital asset services under a harmonized EU framework. This regulatory coup allows the company to scale its operations continent-wide without jurisdictional friction.

CoinShares Asset Management, the French subsidiary of CoinShares International, now stands as the benchmark for compliant crypto asset management in Europe. The MiCA authorization specifically covers crypto portfolio management and advisory services, creating a blueprint for competitors navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
