Bitvavo’s New MiCA License Powers EEA Expansion
Bitvavo secures Dutch MiCA license to operate across all 30 EEA countries—boosting its reach beyond earlier registrations in France, Italy, Spain, and Austria.
- Bitvavo granted full EU passport under Dutch MiCA license
- Expands services across all 30 EEA countries
- Already registered in France, Austria, Italy, and Spain
Bitvavo has officially received a Markets in Crypto‑Assets (MiCA) license from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), unlocking its ability to operate across all 30 European Economic Area countries under a single regulatory framework.
This license is part of the EU’s MiCA regulation, aimed at creating a unified standard for crypto companies operating within the region. Until now, Bitvavo had to register separately in countries like France, Austria, Italy, and Spain. With the MiCA license, it can now serve customers across all EEA nations without going through individual licensing processes.
Building Trust Through Regulation
MiCA provides stricter requirements on consumer protection, financial transparency, and custody practices. Bitvavo’s CEO, Mark Nuvelstijn, highlighted that the license boosts confidence in their platform and strengthens their mission to become the top digital asset trading platform in Europe.
Joining other major exchanges that have secured MiCA licenses, Bitvavo’s inclusion marks a significant endorsement of its compliance infrastructure and operational maturity.
Advantages for Users & Institutions
Streamlined Services:
MiCA’s passporting feature allows Bitvavo to deliver consistent services across Europe, making onboarding easier for users in any EEA country.
Regulatory Clarity:
The new license ensures a higher level of regulatory oversight, attracting both retail and institutional investors looking for a secure platform.
Competitive Edge:
With nearly two million users, Bitvavo now stands in a stronger position to compete with global exchanges, especially within the Eurozone.
