BitGo secures German MiCA license to expand EU-regulated crypto trading
Cryptocurrency exchange BitGo has expanded its European footprint by securing an extension of its Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).
The license, granted to its Frankfurt-based subsidiary BitGo Europe GmbH, now allows the company to offer fully regulated crypto trading services across the European Union.
Expanding services in Europe
This milestone builds on BitGo Europe’s initial BaFin approval received in May 2025, which authorized the firm to provide custody and staking services. With the latest extension, institutional investors in the EU can now access BitGo’s integrated suite of custody, staking, transfer, and trading services within a single regulated platform.
The offering includes access to BitGo’s over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and electronic trading platform, which supports seamless spot trading across thousands of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. By aggregating liquidity from top-tier market makers and exchanges, BitGo aims to deliver competitive pricing, deep liquidity, and high-quality execution for institutional clients.
Institutional focus and market impact
Brett Reeves, Head of European Sales and Go Network at BitGo, emphasized that the move strengthens Europe’s digital asset ecosystem.
“Clients will now be able to trade seamlessly, competitively, and confidently, while keeping their assets secured in MiCA-compliant cold storage,” he said.
The company stressed that its trading services are designed specifically for institutional investors, enabling efficient capital deployment without compromising on security.
With this step, BitGo becomes one of the few regulated custodians in Europe to provide a full-stack solution covering custody, trading, staking, and settlement. Industry analysts suggest the development could help accelerate institutional adoption of digital assets in the region, particularly as regulatory clarity under MiCA continues to evolve.
