Coinbase Secures MiCA Approval, Sets Up Crypto Headquarters in Luxembourg
On June 20, 2025, Coinbase announced that it had secured its MiCA license from the CSSF, Luxembourg’s financial regulator. The license positions Coinbase to operate under a single regulatory framework across the EU, serving 450 million residents in one of the world’s largest economic blocs.
“This milestone enables us to offer a full suite of crypto products and services to 450 million people across all 27 European Union member states,” said Daniel Seifert, Coinbase’s Vice President.
Notably, the Coinbase VP also highlighted Luxembourg’s leadership in blockchain policy, including four DLT-focused bills already passed into national law.
The CSSF’s approval reflects growing momentum across Europe for regulated crypto infrastructure. The move unites the company’s regulatory efforts across Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain under a single hub.
Coinbase emphasized that the milestone could be a pivotal indicator for a maturing crypto ecosystem across the continent.
