Ripple targets MiCA license for EU market entry
Aims to boost crypto and stablecoin services
Regulatory clarity seen as key for expansion
Ripple is taking a major step toward expanding its presence in Europe by planning to secure a MiCA license. MiCA, or the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, is the EU’s first comprehensive crypto framework. This move signals Ripple’s intent to strengthen its foothold in the European market, especially in the areas of digital assets and stablecoins.
With the regulatory framework now becoming clearer in the EU, Ripple sees an opportunity to offer more compliant and scalable services. The company has consistently supported regulatory clarity, and obtaining the MiCA license would allow it to operate legally across all 27 EU member states.
Strategic Focus on Crypto and Stablecoins
One of Ripple’s main targets with this license is to grow its stablecoin and crypto offerings. The firm recently launched its own U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin and is looking to make it available in regulated markets.
By acquiring the MiCA license, Ripple could legally issue and operate stablecoins in the EU, opening the door to partnerships with European banks, fintechs, and other institutions that require regulatory assurance.
Ripple’s head of policy, Susan Friedman, has emphasized that MiCA provides a strong legal framework that fosters innovation while protecting consumers—a balance Ripple fully supports.

Regulation as a Growth Engine
This potential MiCA license aligns with Ripple’s global strategy. As more countries establish crypto rules, Ripple aims to work within legal boundaries to offer its services. The EU’s structured regulation contrasts sharply with the legal uncertainty still seen in other regions like the United States.
Ripple’s move to pursue the MiCA license not only strengthens its compliance credentials but also positions it as a major player in the European crypto space. If successful, Ripple could become one of the first major crypto firms to operate fully licensed under MiCA.
