BVNK secures MiCA licence

We're delighted to share that we have secured our CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider licence) from the MFSA (Malta Financial Services Authority). This licence will allow us to offer digital asset services across all EEA member states from our base in Malta, where we are already authorised as an e-money institution. 

MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation), which we wrote about in 2024,  is the new harmonised European regulatory framework for digital assets. This licence marks a major milestone in our mission to deliver trusted stablecoin infrastructure solutions to global enterprises. 

What does this mean for our customers? 

By obtaining a CASP licence with the MFSA, we are signalling to you – our clients and partners – that BVNK is committed to operating to the highest standards of compliance, safety, and professionalism. 

As a regulated financial services business we are already very familiar with financial services requirements. We’ve been providing fiat and digital asset services across Europe for a number of years and we’ve built strong compliance frameworks and controls to go with it. 

Powering our connections in Europe 

With this licence, BVNK is now unique in offering three critical capabilities in Europe: MiCA crypto services, Euro payments, and direct access to SEPA (the Single Euro Payments Area), all in a single platform. This unique combination provides a competitive advantage that will enable our customers to move seamlessly between EUR payments and stablecoin settlement, with predictable settlement and operational simplicity.

While many competitors depend on third-party providers for EUR payment capabilities, at BVNK we can offer a more resilient, scalable and integrated solution. SEPA access through the Bank of Lithuania’s CENTROlink system means smoother on- and off-ramps, predictable settlement, improved reconciliation and a more seamless overall experience, without relying on intermediaries. This reduces operational friction and speeds up settlement times for our customers. 

We’re delighted to be sharing this news after an  incredible year. In 2025, we scaled our business to $30bn in annualised processing volume and signed up new customers across the globe.

With this licence in place, 2026 is shaping up to be another record-breaking one for BVNK. Thank you for being part of the journey. We look forward to building the future of finance with you.
