Smart regulation is the foundation of trust, innovation, and growth in digital finance. As Europe’s leading crypto platform, Bitpanda is committed to a future where clear rules ensure safe and fair access to financial tools. Crypto is no longer fringe, it is essential to the financial system of the 21st century. We lead by example and help shape the policies that will define this future.
At Bitpanda, we believe smart regulation is key to innovation and growth in digital finance. Transparency, user protection, and responsible innovation guide everything we do.
We lead by example, holding three MiCAR licenses and registration with the UK’s FCA, demonstrating our commitment to operating under a clear regulatory framework that supports a safe and inclusive financial system.
We also work closely with government departments, regulators, and industry bodies to share real-world insights that help shape effective, practical policies for the financial markets of tomorrow.
As of January 2025, Bitpanda became the first major crypto platform to receive a MiCAR licence in Germany and has since secured two additional licences in Austria and Malta. With three MiCAR licences to date, Bitpanda is the most regulated crypto platform under the new EU framework.
Since February 2025, Bitpanda has been officially registered with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority as a cryptoasset firm.
In March 2025, Bitpanda was granted a VASP licence by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, marking a key step in the global expansion and reinforcing the commitment to operating under leading international regulatory standards.
