Blockchain.com Achieves MiCA License

Blockchain.com has officially announced that it has received the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) license on October 23, 2025. This significant development permits the company to offer its crypto services throughout all 30 nations of the European Economic Area (EEA) under a unified regulatory framework. The license, granted by the Maltese Financial Services Authority (MFSA), reflects a pivotal shift in the European landscape for digital assets and facilitates safe access to cryptocurrencies.

MiCA Framework Explained

The MiCA framework serves as the European Union's first extensive regulatory initiative for crypto assets. It introduces uniform standards for areas including custody, asset issuance, and consumer protection, thereby fostering a harmonized environment that promotes responsible innovation. The clarity offered by MiCA is expected to significantly enhance the stability and predictability of the crypto market, which is crucial for long-term growth.

Peter Smith, the Co-Founder and CEO of Blockchain.com, commented, "Malta's regulatory clarity and strategic position make it the ideal hub to scale Blockchain.com's European operations." He highlighted that with MiCA becoming operational, the company is focused on building secure and transparent solutions that cater to European market needs, thereby setting new standards for global adoption. The firm remains committed to facilitating trust and integrity, values that have been synonymous with its brand since its inception over a decade ago.

Scaling Cross-Border Services

The MiCA license empowers Blockchain.com to enhance its cross-border services and introduce a range of products across the EU while abiding by a robust, client-centered regulatory framework. This represents a crucial evolution from the previously fragmented regulatory landscape. Key offerings under the MiCA license include:

• - Secure digital asset custody and wallet services throughout EEA states.
• - Enterprise-grade treasury and compliance tools for institutions.
• - Accelerated go-to-market strategies in critical jurisdictions.
• - Development of localized products specifically designed for European customers, ensuring full compliance with MiCA’s rigorous consumer protection standards.
