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.
