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 MiCA framework.
The approval from Luxembourg’s financial regulator, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier, allows B2C2 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.
B2C2 said the authorization makes it the first global OTC liquidity provider to receive a CASP license under Europe’s MiCA framework.
The company had already registered as a virtual asset service provider in Luxembourg in 2024. According to B2C2, the new approval further strengthens its regulated presence in Europe ahead of the European Union’s MiCA transition deadline in July 2026.
Thomas Restout, CEO of B2C2, described the approval as a major achievement for the company. He said the license reflects the firm’s strong regulatory standards and highlights its focus on governance and compliance.
Across Europe, more crypto companies are moving toward MiCA registration as regulators increase 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 firms in December 2024.
Among other major firms operating under MiCA, Coinbase received its license from Luxembourg regulators in June 2025 and later made Luxembourg its main European crypto hub. The company said MiCA allows it to provide services across Europe under one regulatory structure instead of relying on separate national licenses.
Meanwhile, Bitpanda announced in March 2026 that its MiCA license had officially gone live as the company expanded its trading platform and white-label services for banks and fintech companies.
Alongside Coinbase and Bitpanda, B2C2 joins a growing group of crypto firms operating under MiCA licenses in Europe, including Kraken in Ireland and several other exchanges seeking passporting access across the bloc.
