Owning our place in the future of payments: Solidgate secures MiCA license

We’re proud to announce that Solidgate* has been authorized as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).

The license is passported across the European Economic Area. One license. 30 countries. One regulatory standard.

It’s a milestone for Solidgate, and a deliberate choice about how we build: on our own license, under our own controls, at our own pace.

Global commerce never stops. TradFi still does: for cut-off times, weekends and bank holidays.

Stablecoins change that. They are always on, settle in seconds, and move across borders by design. For the first time in decades, cross-border money can keep pace with the business it serves.

There are two ways into stablecoins. You can plug into someone else’s license and work within its limits: its risk appetite, roadmap, and pace. Or you can earn your own and set the standard yourself.

We chose the second. That choice gives us control over how client assets are held, how risk is managed, and how fast we scale.

It also shapes what we build. The stablecoin capabilities we develop sit inside Solidgate, governed by our own compliance framework, not borrowed from someone else’s.

Earning the authorization took months of preparation and regulatory scrutiny of how we operate. The review covered governance and management, capital, custody arrangements, anti-money laundering controls, and operational resilience.

Solidgate builds compliance-first, and the license confirms our framework meets the EU’s requirements for crypto-asset service providers.

Alongside existing fiat payment services, the license enables:
