BitGo Europe GmbH has achieved a significant milestone in its European expansion as Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) approves an extension to its existing license. This development enables the Frankfurt-based subsidiary to offer regulated crypto trading services alongside its current custody and staking operations throughout Europe.
Enhanced Trading Capabilities Under MiCA Compliance
The extended license builds upon BitGo’s initial BaFin authorization from November 2023, which focused on regulated custody services. European investors can now access both OTC and electronic trading for thousands of digital assets and stablecoins through BitGo’s platform. The company maintains strict compliance with Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations while keeping assets secure in cold storage.
Strategic Position in European Digital Asset Services
BitGo’s latest authorization creates a comprehensive service offering that combines trading, custody, and staking under one regulated platform. This integration places BitGo among select providers offering complete digital asset services in Europe. The company now stands as a direct competitor to established players like Coinbase and Kraken in the European market.
Shaping Europe’s Digital Asset Future
Brett Reeves, Head of European Sales at BitGo, emphasizes how this expansion benefits institutional clients. The platform offers deep liquidity access while maintaining institutional-grade security standards. BitGo’s regulated infrastructure supports Europe’s growing digital asset ecosystem, helping institutions operate efficiently in crypto markets.
