Just days after Kucoin got officially registered as a Regulated Digital Currency Exchange in Australia, KuCoin EU has secured a MiCA authorization this time in Austria. The Financial Market Authority (FMA) has granted the platform approval, allowing it to provide digital-asset trading, custody, and other regulated services across all 29 EU and EEA member states under the bloc’s MiCA framework.

The approval will ease the exchange’s expansion into the European Union’s regulated crypto market. BC Wong, the CEO of KuCoin, has been busy this month with major developments around KuCoin, saying securing the licence was very important to the platform. In a statement, he commented, saying:
“Securing the MiCAR license with our local entity in Austria is a defining milestone in KuCoin’s long-term Trust and Compliance strategy.”
He continued to complete the EU regulatory framework, stating:
“Europe’s MiCAR framework represents one of the highest regulatory standards worldwide, and we are proud to meet this benchmark. As part of our $2B Trust Project, KuCoin will continue building transparent, credible, and security-driven Web3 infrastructure that strengthens user trust and supports the responsible growth of the digital asset industry.”
As we reported earlier, KuCoin has already become the first major Exchange to get full Suite global Certification. The company said the authorization is a long-term commitment to operating in accordance with strict regulatory standards, such as MiCA.
KuCoin EU noted that MiCA’s passporting structure will allow it to offer regulated services with a single license rather than navigating multiple national frameworks. This is expected to streamline its European roll-out and offer a more consistent experience for EU-based users.
Expect More From KuCoin
As the platform aims to lead on the global scale on all possessive metrics, the exchange said that it will continue to monitor regulatory updates from both the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and national regulators as the MiCA regime enters full implementation.
The company is expected to provide updates on new product launches and localized EU features in the coming months. BC said:
“As KuCoin continues to align with regulatory frameworks across more regions and countries, we remain dedicated to building trusted products, safeguarding user assets, and contributing to the healthy and sustainable development of the global crypto industry.”
