Bitstamp Secures Luxembourg CASP License—Full MiCA Compliance Now in Play

Bitstamp just outmaneuvered regulatory chaos by snagging Luxembourg’s CASP license—clearing the path for full MiCA implementation. One small step for crypto, one giant headache for legacy finance.

Regulators blink first

The exchange’s proactive move makes it one of the first major platforms to lock down MiCA-ready status in the EU. Watch the scramble as competitors now rush to match compliance—while traditional banks still can’t agree on KYC standards.

Luxembourg’s quiet coup

The Grand Duchy cements its reputation as a crypto hub, offering Bitstamp a springboard into the broader European market. Meanwhile, other jurisdictions dither over frameworks—classic bureaucratic speed.

Crypto’s compliance era is here. The dinosaurs of finance? Still figuring out how to spell ’blockchain.’
