Citing BitcoinWorld, Dutch Bitcoin-focused startup Blockrise has obtained the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, becoming one of the first companies to achieve full regulatory compliance under the new framework. The license allows Blockrise to legally operate across all 27 EU member states, offering services such as Bitcoin custody, trading, and asset management. The MiCA regulation sets clear rules for crypto service providers, including capital adequacy, consumer protection, and anti-money laundering protocols. Blockrise’s compliance milestone is seen as a significant step toward mainstream cryptocurrency adoption in Europe, demonstrating that innovation and regulation can coexist. The company’s focus on Bitcoin-specific services differentiates it from broader crypto platforms, and the license streamlines its expansion strategy by eliminating the need for country-specific approvals.
