The Ukrainian cryptocurrency exchange WhiteBIT has announced that it has received authorization under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) in Austria. The authorization was issued by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA).
As emphasized by the company’s press service, obtaining authorization in Austria is an important milestone in WhiteBIT’s European development strategy. Thanks to MiCA authorization, WhiteBIT EU will be able to provide regulated crypto-asset services to users in countries of the European Economic Area (EEA).
MiCA creates a unified EU regulatory framework for crypto-asset service providers, setting requirements for corporate governance, operational transparency, customer protection, and market integrity.
As part of the transition to the new MiCA regulatory model, WhiteBIT is preparing to launch whitebit.eu — a separate platform designed specifically for users in EEA countries.
