BitGo Launches MiCA Crypto Infrastructure In Europe

Crypto Insight Summary: BitGo launches a MiCA-compliant crypto infrastructure platform in Europe as exchanges face pressure to meet July 1 licensing rules across the EU. BitGo, a crypto custody company, is moving into Europe’s tighter regulatory landscape as exchanges race to maintain access ahead of a key licensing deadline. BitGo Europe launched a crypto-as-a-service platform aimed at meeting the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), the company said in a statement shared with Cointelegraph on Wednesday. BitGo CEO Mike Belshe [said](https://x.com/mikebelshe/status/2066940674893922604?s=20) companies shouldn’t leave users waiting during licensing delays, arguing that regulated infrastructure can keep platforms active in the meantime. “We can help keep you moving safely and compliantly,” he said. The launch comes with the [EU’s July 1 MiCA deadline](https://cointelegraph.com/news/eu-mica-deadline-looms-for-unlicensed-crypto-exchanges) approaching, requiring crypto companies to obtain authorization to continue serving customers across the bloc. Reports on Tuesday suggested [Greek regulators may reject Binance’s MiCA license application](https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-response-mica-european-union-license), adding uncertainty to the EU regulatory status of the [world's largest crypto exchange](https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-derivatives-q1-hyperliquid-enters-top-10-coinglass) by trading volume. BitGo Europe’s MiCA service launch comes more than a year after the company secured authorization under the framework. Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) [issued](https://www.bitgo.com/resources/blog/bitgo-secures-mica-license-to-expand-digital-asset-services-across-the-eu/) the license in May 2025.
