CoinShares has strengthened its regulatory foothold in Europe by securing a MiCA license through its French subsidiary.
The approval, announced Wednesday, cements its status as the first continental European asset manager to comply with the landmark crypto framework.
Beyond MiCA, CoinShares holds both MiFID and AIFM licenses—a rare combination that allows it to operate seamlessly across EU asset classes.
This regulatory edge comes as the firm expands its US presence, including through its acquisition of Valkyrie Funds in 2023.
The triple-license status underscores CoinShares’ strategy of prioritizing compliance as a competitive advantage in the evolving digital asset landscape.
