CoinShares Becomes First to Receive MiCA Approval for Crypto Asset Management in Europe
European investment firm CoinShares has become the first continental asset manager to receive full authorization under the EU’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.
The license was granted through its French division, CoinShares Asset Management, enabling the company to operate legally across multiple jurisdictions within the EU.
This approval allows CoinShares to offer crypto portfolio management and advisory services, strengthening its already robust regulatory position. The firm now holds three key licenses—MiCA, MiFID, and AIFMD—giving it a unique foothold in both crypto and traditional asset classes across Europe.
CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti described the development as a landmark for the entire digital asset sector, emphasizing that MiCA brings long-awaited regulatory clarity to crypto businesses operating within the EU.
Alongside its European expansion, CoinShares has been actively growing in the U.S. market, launching a range of ETFs—including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin mining products—after acquiring Valkyrie Funds. It also continues to pursue new ETF approvals, such as a proposed spot XRP fund.
