WhiteBIT EU Obtains Austrian MiCA License, Broadens European Crypto Reach

WhiteBIT EU Secures MiCA License in Austria, Expanding Regulated Crypto Services Across Europe

Vienna, Austria – June 19, 2026 – WB-Shield Innovations GmbH, operating as WhiteBIT EU, announced today it has received authorization under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) in Austria. The approval was granted by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA).

This Austrian authorization represents a significant milestone in WhiteBIT’s European expansion strategy and highlights the company’s commitment to operating within a transparent, secure, and harmonized regulatory environment. Under MiCA, WhiteBIT EU will be authorized to offer regulated crypto-asset services to eligible users throughout the European Economic Area (EEA).

The authorization is a crucial step in WhiteBIT’s broader objective to establish a regulated presence in Europe and contribute to the ongoing development of the digital asset ecosystem across the EEA, excluding Malta.

“WhiteBIT was founded as a European exchange, and Europe remains central to our long-term vision,” stated Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group, WhiteBIT’s parent company. “With MiCA setting a global standard for digital asset regulation, this authorization reinforces our dedication to building a transparent, secure, and compliant crypto ecosystem for users across the region.”

Strengthening WhiteBIT EU’s Regulatory Position in Europe

MiCA establishes a unified EU framework for crypto-asset service providers, outlining requirements for governance, transparency, client protection, and market integrity.

By securing authorization in Austria, WhiteBIT EU has undergone a thorough regulatory assessment in a jurisdiction known for its robust financial supervisory standards. This strengthens WhiteBIT EU’s regulated standing in Europe and supports the planned provision of crypto-asset services across the EEA, within the scope of its MiCA authorization and in compliance with applicable passporting, onboarding, and regulatory mandates.

With the MiCA license in Austria, these efforts are now consolidated under a single regulatory framework, enabling WhiteBIT to offer compliant, secure, and accessible crypto services to millions of European retail and institutional clients.

Launch of WhiteBIT.EU for European Users

As part of its transition to the MiCA framework, WhiteBIT is preparing to launch whitebit.eu, a dedicated platform designed specifically for users within the European Economic Area (EEA).

This new platform will serve as WhiteBIT’s regulated hub for the European market, operating under the MiCA framework and providing compliant access to the company’s products and services across the EEA.

Prospective users interested in joining whitebit.eu can register their interest via a dedicated form on the website and will be among the first to receive updates upon the platform’s launch.
