We’re thrilled to announce that MoonPay has officially secured approval under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.
Ratified by the European Parliament in April 2023, MiCA establishes a unified regulatory environment for digital assets across the European Economic Area (EEA)—the world’s second-largest crypto economy behind North America.
Our approval signals MoonPay’s readiness to deepen our European presence while maintaining strict security standards and regulatory compliance.
“This approval is a testament to MoonPay’s proactive approach to regulation and our commitment to building a trusted bridge between the traditional financial world and the rapidly evolving crypto ecosystem,” said MoonPay’s co-founder and CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright.
“MiCA represents a pivotal moment for the European digital asset industry, and we’re proud to have worked collaboratively with the Dutch AFM to be among the first to embrace this new regulatory framework.”
MiCA is the first set of uniform rules to be enforced across a large geography. The framework fully comes into effect as of December 30, 2024.
