CoinShares gains Europe’s first MiCA authorisation.
Firm integrates MiCA, MiFID, and AIFM licences.
Enables full EU-wide regulated crypto services.
CoinShares Asset Management has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first firm in continental Europe to receive MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) authorisation. This approval places CoinShares at the forefront of regulated crypto asset management in the European Union, setting a new industry benchmark for compliance and legitimacy.
By combining MiCA with MiFID (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) and AIFM (Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive) licences, CoinShares now holds the necessary framework to offer fully regulated and secure crypto investment products across the EU.
What This Means for Crypto Investors
With MiCA authorisation, CoinShares can legally manage crypto portfolios and offer services throughout all EU member states. This drastically simplifies cross-border crypto investments, reducing the regulatory fragmentation that has historically plagued the industry.
The integration of MiCA, MiFID, and AIFM ensures CoinShares can provide robust investor protections, transparency, and financial oversight. This move not only enhances investor trust but also encourages institutional involvement in crypto markets.

A Step Towards Unified European Crypto Standards
The MiCA framework, set to roll out across the EU in 2024 and 2025, aims to standardize crypto regulations and protect investors while fostering innovation. CoinShares’ early adoption positions them as a regulatory leader, giving them a first-mover advantage in the growing European crypto market.
As the EU pushes for greater crypto oversight, CoinShares’ proactive approach could serve as a model for other firms navigating the evolving compliance landscape.
