BitGo Europe GmbH, the digital asset infrastructure company, will provide its MiCAR-compliant Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) infrastructure for eligible virtual asset service providers (VASPs), fintechs, and digital asset platforms transitioning from national crypto registration regimes to the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).
MiCAR requires all crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) to hold EU authorisation by 1 July 2026. As a result, businesses are working to maintain customer continuity while meeting higher requirements for licensing, safeguarding, governance, onboarding and operational resilience.
BitGo Europe is authorised by Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) as a crypto-asset service provider under MiCAR and provides regulated crypto custody, transfer, and trading services in the European Union through its MiCAR licensing framework.
Through CaaS, eligible businesses can embed BitGo Europe’s services into their existing customer experience using modular APIs.
“MiCAR is raising the standard for digital asset businesses across Europe, and many VASPs now need a practical way to adapt without disrupting their customers,” said Jody Mettler, COO of BitGo and president of BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association. “BitGo Europe’s CaaS platform is designed to help eligible businesses move quickly to a regulated infrastructure model while preserving their brand, customer relationships, and core product experience.”
The platform is designed to support regulated custody and wallet infrastructure with client asset segregation controls and institutional-grade security.
It also includes modular wallet APIs that allow businesses to maintain their own front-end experience while BitGo Europe provides regulated services underneath.
“We believe Europe is moving toward a more unified and durable regulatory framework for digital assets,” said Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-founder of BitGo. “BitGo was built for moments like this, where security, regulation, and scalable technology need to come together. With BitGo Europe, we are giving businesses a way to meet the MiCAR standard while continuing to serve the market with confidence.”
BitGo recently broadened its collaboration with 21shares to provide staking and custody services.
