BitGo has received a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling the company to offer regulated digital asset services across the European Union.
This regulatory milestone marks a major expansion for BitGo Europe GmbH, which was established in Frankfurt in 2023 as BitGo’s EU headquarters. The entity already holds registrations in several member states, including Italy, Spain, Poland, and Greece. With the MiCA license now secured, BitGo can operate across the entire EU under a unified, forward-looking regulatory framework.
“As a global leader in digital asset infrastructure, regulatory compliance is at the core of our business,” said Harald Patt, Managing Director of BitGo Europe GmbH. “We are proud to receive our MiCA license from BaFin, and look forward to supporting the continued growth of crypto adoption in Europe. This license underscores our commitment to the highest standards of security, transparency, and trust.”
European Presence, Global Confidence
The European Union has quickly become a global hub for digital asset innovation, driven by MiCA’s clear, harmonized approach to regulation. From staking to stablecoins, the new framework has accelerated institutional participation while increasing trust in the market.
BitGo is now well-positioned to serve both crypto-native companies and traditional financial institutions—such as banks and asset managers—looking to engage with digital assets through a secure, compliant infrastructure provider. The company continues to expand its suite of services, which includes custody, wallets, staking, trading, and settlement.
With this latest milestone, BitGo reinforces its role as a key player in shaping the future of digital finance across Europe.
