Blockchain.com Secures MiCA License in Malta

• Blockchain.com gets MiCA license via Malta’s MFSA
• Can now offer custody and wallet services across EU
• A major step towards MiCA compliance in Europe

In a major regulatory win, Blockchain.com has secured a MiCA license from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). This license now allows the crypto firm to legally offer custody and wallet services throughout 30 countries in the European Union.

MiCA, or the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, is the EU’s unified framework designed to bring regulatory clarity and consumer protection to the crypto space. Malta, known for its crypto-friendly approach, is among the first nations to start implementing MiCA.

By obtaining this license in Malta, Blockchain.com is now in a strong position to expand its services across the entire EU without the need for separate licenses in each member country.

What This Means for Users and the Crypto Industry

This move gives Blockchain.com a first-mover advantage ahead of the full MiCA rollout expected in 2025. Users across Europe will benefit from increased security, regulatory oversight, and standardized service quality.

It also signals that Blockchain.com is ready to play by the rules as governments push for tighter regulations in crypto. For the industry, this step reflects growing maturity and acceptance of crypto services in traditional finance systems.

Malta’s Role in Leading MiCA Adoption

Malta continues to prove its commitment to supporting regulated crypto growth. The country’s proactive stance has made it an ideal launchpad for companies aiming to meet MiCA standards early.

By leading the way, Malta is setting a precedent for other EU regulators, encouraging more crypto firms to seek early compliance and foster a safer digital asset environment across the region.
