B2C2 Secures Luxembourg MiCA License, Can Provide OTC Crypto Trading Services in the EU

BlockBeats News, May 15, Crypto market maker and liquidity provider B2C2 has been granted a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) of Luxembourg, formally entering the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) regulatory framework.

Under this license, B2C2 can offer over-the-counter spot trading services in the 27 EU member states and some European Economic Area countries through the MiCA "passport mechanism," enabling cross-border digital asset liquidity with unified compliance.

The company stated that this approval makes it one of the first global OTC liquidity providers authorized under the MiCA framework, having previously completed VASP registration in Luxembourg in 2024.

B2C2 CEO Thomas Restout stated that obtaining MiCA authorization reflects the company's long-term commitment to compliance and governance and will further strengthen its service capabilities in the institutional crypto market.

As the MiCA transition period approaches (expected to end in July 2026), an increasing number of crypto companies are accelerating their EU compliance efforts, with entities like Coinbase and Kraken also advancing their licensing initiatives in various European jurisdictions.
