AMINA Bank, one of the world’s first crypto banks, has secured a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) license from Austria’s Financial Market Authority (FMA) under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR) framework.
Following the approval, AMINA will launch its subsidiary, AMINA EU, to enable regulated crypto trading, custody and portfolio management services, starting in Austria.
“Professional investors in Europe are seeking secure, regulated access to crypto, and we’re meeting that demand with the launch of AMINA’s European operations in Austria,” said Eckehard Stolz, managing director of AMINA EU.
“By combining Swiss banking DNA and deep expertise with Austrian regulatory strength, we are building the trusted infrastructure to bridge traditional finance and crypto.”
AMINA EU will launch a dedicated platform designed to provide clients with secure, institutional-grade access to the crypto ecosystem.
Operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMINA Bank and part of the global AMINA Group, the company adheres to established banking governance standards and regulatory frameworks, supported by extensive industry experience across multiple market cycles, according to the bank.
“Together with our licenses in Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi, this milestone enables us to offer clients global and market leading service through operations built for scale, security and long-term success,” said AMINA’s CEO, Franz Bergmueller.
