B2C2 Obtains MiCA License in Luxembourg, Can Offer OTC Crypto Services Across the EU

火星财经消息： On May 15, B2C2, a crypto market maker and liquidity provider, received a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) license from Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), formally bringing it under the regulatory framework of the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Under this license, B2C2 is authorized to offer over-the-counter (OTC) spot trading services across all 27 EU member states and select European Economic Area countries via MiCA’s “passporting” mechanism, enabling cross-border, compliant access to unified digital asset liquidity. The company stated that this approval positions it as one of the first global OTC liquidity providers authorized under MiCA, following its prior registration as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Luxembourg in 2024. B2C2 CEO Thomas Restout said that obtaining MiCA authorization reflects the company’s long-term commitment to compliance and governance, and will further enhance its ability to serve institutional crypto markets. As the MiCA transition period nears its end (expected July 2026), an increasing number of crypto firms are accelerating their EU compliance efforts, with companies such as Coinbase and Kraken also advancing their licensing frameworks across various European jurisdictions.
