eToro EU authorized under MiCA for German crypto trading
The financial services company eToro Europe Ltd. has received regulatory approval under the European Union’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework to provide cryptocurrency services in Germany. The authorization, announced this week, positions eToro EU as the direct provider of cryptoasset trading services for German clients starting at the end of October 2025.
- Chosen by 3 200+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
This transition marks a structural change for German users, according to eToro’s website.
Structural changes and the role of eToro EU
Until now, cryptocurrency trades on eToro were conducted through DLT Finance, but from October 30 onward, all transactions will be carried out directly by eToro EU. To continue trading, clients must accept the revised Terms and Conditions, which will appear in a pop-up window upon logging into the platform. eToro emphasized that existing positions will remain unchanged, while custody agreements will continue to be handled by Tangany GmbH for the time being.
Thanking DLT Finance for its previous partnership, eToro noted that it expects continued cooperation in areas such as liquidity provision and infrastructure support. From now on, however, full responsibility for cryptoasset trading in Germany will rest with eToro EU, which holds MiCA authorization.
Although eToro EU fully complies with MiCA requirements, the company clarified that it is not designated as a MiCA trading venue—that is, an exchange where buyers and sellers transact directly. Instead, eToro acts as the counterparty, ensuring that trades meet MiCA regulatory standards while also providing flexibility to execute transactions outside regulated venues.
Future steps and eToro’s strategy
Looking ahead, eToro stated it may expand custody services directly under its EU entity. Such a change would broaden German clients’ access to digital assets not yet available on the platform. Clients will be notified in advance of any changes to custody arrangements.
For users who decline the updated Terms, access to trading will be disabled after October 5, 2025. Their existing cryptoassets will remain safely held with Tangany and may be transferred to another custodian if desired.
This move highlights eToro’s broader strategy of incorporating regulatory requirements into its European operations. Cooperation with MiCA is aimed at strengthening investor protection, enhancing transparency, and solidifying the company’s position in the evolving European cryptocurrency market.
