A Milestone in Crypto Adoption in the EU
In the official announcement, Coinbase revealed that this important milestone mirrors a significant step for the exchange.
The achievement will:
- Allow Coinbase to operate under a unified and regulated crypto environment in one of the largest economic regions of the world
- Solidify its position as one of the global leaders in regulatory compliance and innovation
- Enable the exchange to offer EU member states with over 450 million people a full suite of its crypto products and services
Luxembourg – An Innovative Financial Hub
Coinbase also highlighted that Luxembourg has been a forward-thinking financial hub that has:
- Demonstrated its strong commitment to fostering innovation
- Understood the needs of the crypto industry
- Exceled in regulatory clarity
- Actively pursued a whole-of-government approach to blockchain and DLT
- Passed four blockchain-related policies through the national legislature
The new hub is a step forward for Coinbase in Europe, boosting the entire innovative crypto ecosystem.
Coinbase’s Work With European Regulators
Over the past years, the crypto exchange has been working constantly with European regulators, securing licenses in the following locations:
- Germany
- France
- Ireland
- Italy
- The Netherlands
- Spain
Now, with the latest MiCA license, Coinbase can finally unify its efforts under a single framework, enabling millions of Europeans to access regulated and secure crypto services.
This is an important moment for Coinbase, the whole crypto ecosystem, and the people of the EU.
Other MiCA fully-regulated exchanges include Crypto.com, OKX, Bitstamp, and others, while some exchanges, including Binance, are on the right path to become fully MiCA -ompliant in the region.
