In a landmark development for European cryptocurrency regulation, AMINA Bank AG has announced its Austrian subsidiary AMINA (Austria) AG obtained the first Crypto-Asset Service Provider license compliant with the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework from Austria’s Financial Market Authority. The authorization, granted on November 3, 2025, establishes AMINA EU as the inaugural financial institution to operate under MiCA provisions, positioning the firm at the forefront of regulated digital asset services across European Union member states.
This regulatory milestone enables AMINA’s Austrian division to offer comprehensive crypto-asset services while maintaining full compliance with the EU’s standardized regulatory framework. The license demonstrates AMINA Bank’s strategic expansion within European markets and its commitment to operating within established financial regulatory parameters.
The approval from Austria’s FMA represents a significant achievement in bridging traditional financial oversight with emerging digital asset services. This development sets a precedent for other financial institutions seeking to integrate cryptocurrency services within the European regulatory landscape while ensuring consumer protection and market integrity.
AMINA Bank’s successful licensing through its Austrian subsidiary underscores the growing institutional acceptance of digital assets within regulated financial ecosystems and establishes a benchmark for future CASP authorization processes across the European Union.
