Banxa has secured a MiCA licence in the Netherlands, allowing its European entity to operate as a regulated Crypto Asset Service Provider across 30 EEA countries. This milestone expands Banxa’s global regulatory footprint and underscores its dedication to meeting the highest regulatory standards while powering millions of businesses and users worldwide with trusted embedded crypto infrastructure.
Banxa Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BNXA) (OTC Pink: BNXAF) (FSE: AC00), a leading infrastructure provider for enabling embedded crypto within payment platforms, announced its European entity, EU Internet Ventures B.V (EUIV), has received regulatory approval under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework.
The newly acquired licence, granted in the Netherlands, authorises EUIV to operate as a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) – enabling the regulated exchange of crypto-assets for funds across 30 European Economic Area (EEA) countries without requiring additional authorisation in each jurisdiction.
To ensure a smooth transition to MiCA, a grandfathering regime was implemented in the Netherlands. EUIV has been operating under a De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) registration since 2020 and has been proactively aligning with all MiCA standards, including anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) obligations, to ensure investor protection.
“The AFM’s MiCA licensing process is very thorough, highlighting our team’s exceptional effort and commitment to meeting the highest regulatory standards,” said Adrià Hernández Romero, Chief Risk Officer at EUIV. “We believe regulation and innovation must work together to support the sustainable growth of digital finance.”
This approval further strengthens Banxa’s established global regulatory footprint. In the United States, the group holds Money Transmitter Licences (MTL) in 37 states, alongside existing licences in the UK, Canada, and Australia. The addition of the MiCA licence marks the next stage of growth and development for the Banxa group, reinforcing its commitment to delivering trusted, compliant digital assets infrastructure.
“Receiving MiCA approval marks a major step forward in our global compliance journey,” said Holger Arians, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, at Banxa. “Europe has been a key market for Banxa and digital asset innovation, and this licence allows us to bring our trusted, secure and fully compliant infrastructure to more businesses and millions of users across the region.”
