Bitpanda, an Austrian fintech unicorn, has obtained a license under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework from Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). The license allows Bitpanda to operate in all 27 EU member states under a unified regulatory regime. Bitpanda is the second crypto asset service provider (CASP) to receive BaFin's MiCA license since the regulation entered full effect on Dec. 30, 2024. Bitpanda CEO Eric Demuth calls for consistent and robust enforcement of MiCA and urges European lawmakers to catch up with regulatory developments in other parts of the world, especially the United States.
