B2C2 has secured a Crypto-Asset Service Provider license in Luxembourg, allowing the digital asset liquidity firm to expand regulated crypto trading services across the European Union under the bloc’s MiCA framework.
Summary
- B2C2 has secured a MiCA crypto license in Luxembourg to expand OTC trading services across the European Union.
- The approval allows B2C2 to offer regulated crypto liquidity services across 27 EU countries and three EEA markets through passporting rules.
- B2C2 joins Coinbase, Bitpanda, and Kraken among crypto firms operating under Europe’s unified MiCA framework.
According to a statement released by B2C2 on Friday, the approval from Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier allows the company to offer over-the-counter spot crypto trading services across all 27 EU member states and three European Economic Area countries through MiCA passporting rules.
The company said the authorization makes B2C2 the first global OTC liquidity provider to obtain a CASP license under the framework.
Having already registered as a virtual asset service provider in Luxembourg in 2024, B2C2 said the latest approval strengthens its regulated presence in Europe just months before the European Union’s MiCA transition period deadline in July 2026.
“Obtaining MiCA authorisation is a significant accomplishment for B2C2,” B2C2 CEO Thomas Restout said in the company statement.
Restout added that the approval demonstrates the “regulatory and operational standards” under which the firm operates and highlights its focus on governance and compliance.
Across the European crypto market, firms have continued moving toward MiCA registration as regulators tighten oversight under the unified framework introduced by the European Union. The rules were first proposed by the European Commission in 2020, adopted by the European Parliament in 2023, and became fully applicable to crypto companies in December 2024.
Among the companies that have already secured MiCA approvals, Coinbase obtained its license from Luxembourg regulators in June 2025 and later established Luxembourg as its main European crypto hub. At the time, Coinbase said the framework would allow the exchange to offer services across the EU under a single regulatory structure instead of relying on separate national licenses.
Elsewhere in Europe, crypto investment platform Bitpanda reported in March 2026 that its MiCA license had gone live as the company expanded its multi-asset trading business and white-label infrastructure services for banks and fintech firms.
Alongside Coinbase and Bitpanda, B2C2 now joins a growing list of crypto firms operating under MiCA licenses across Europe, including Kraken in Ireland and other major exchanges seeking passporting access across the bloc.
