Coinbase has secured a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) licence from Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), the crypto exchange recently revealed.
The license enables the company to provide its full suite of cryptocurrency services across all 27 member states of the European Union.
Coinbase believes the approval marks a pivotal moment, enabling it to operate under a unified regulatory framework and serve a market of more than 450 million people.
“This milestone enables us to offer a full suite of crypto products and services to 450 million people across all 27 European Union member states,” Coinbase said.
The firm will also establish its European crypto hub in Luxembourg, which it described as a “forward-thinking financial hub” committed to blockchain innovation and regulatory clarity.
Under the MiCA framework, Coinbase consolidates its previous licensing wins in Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain.
“Now, with MiCA, we’re uniting these efforts under a single framework,” the company added.
Coinbase said it views the MiCA licence not just as a regulatory achievement but as a foundation for growth across the region.
The exchange praised Luxembourg’s proactive stance on digital assets, noting the country’s legislative progress with four blockchain-related policies.
While welcoming MiCA, Coinbase also urged European policymakers to continue pushing ambitious initiatives to maintain the region’s competitive edge
The company described this regulatory alignment as a “landmark step forward” for both Coinbase and the wider European crypto ecosystem.
