Bitpanda secures third MiCA license in home jurisdiction of Austria
Bitpanda secures its third MiCA license in Austria, expanding its regulatory footprint across the EU as questions emerge over multi-license necessity.
Austrian fintech unicorn Bitpanda has secured its third license under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework, further expanding its regulatory footprint across the bloc.
Bitpanda on April 10 announced receiving a new MiCA license from Austria’s Financial Market Authority (FMA), its third after approvals from regulators in Germany and Malta.
Its latest approval marks “another step toward building the most regulated crypto platform in Europe,” the exchange said in an announcement on X.
