CoinShares has secured the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, marking it as the first continental European crypto asset manager to attain triple regulatory approval. This landmark achievement establishes a unique compliance framework positioning the firm for accelerated growth across European and American markets.
The license was obtained through CoinShares’ French subsidiary, complementing existing MiFID and AIFM licenses. This regulatory trifecta enables immediate operational expansion into key EU jurisdictions including Germany, Cyprus, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, and the Netherlands under harmonized crypto regulations.
Concurrently in the United States, CoinShares has broadened its institutional offerings with multiple cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds: Bitcoin Futures ETF (BTF), Bitcoin Mining ETF (WGMI), spot Bitcoin ETF (BRRR), and Bitcoin Futures Leveraged ETF (BTFX). This transatlantic expansion strategy demonstrates the company’s commitment to regulated market access.
The milestone underscores CoinShares’ core philosophy of transforming regulatory compliance into a competitive advantage. Company leadership emphasizes that rigorous adherence to evolving standards and investor protection mechanisms form the bedrock of their global scaling strategy within the digital asset ecosystem.
