Caceis Bank has become one of the first major custodians to receive authorisation under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, marking a significant milestone in the bloc’s digital finance rollout.
Approved by France’s ACPR banking regulator, with input from the AMF, the licence enables Caceis to offer crypto-asset custody, order transmission, and transfer services across all EU member states via passporting rights.
The move positions group at the forefront of institutional crypto adoption, it said in a release.
“This strengthens our position as a trusted third party,” said Laurent Majchrzak, group head of digital assets at Caceis. “We’re enabling clients to hold both traditional and digital assets in a single portfolio.”
The approval comes as European regulators push to harmonise digital asset oversight in the context of rising institutional demand for tokenisation, with firms like CACEIS playing a key role in bridging legacy infrastructure and blockchain-based finance.
