B2C2, a global leader in institutional digital asset liquidity, has obtained authorisation under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework from Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF).

The approval marks B2C2 as the first Global OTC Liquidity Provider to secure a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) licence, reflecting the firm’s continued commitment to upholding the highest standards of regulatory compliance and building institutional-grade infrastructure for digital asset liquidity.

This milestone positions the firm to scale its over-the-counter (OTC) spot crypto trading services to clients across the EU and EEA via MiCA’s passporting regime.

As the July 2026 deadline for the MiCA transition period approaches, B2C2 joins an elite group of firms licensed to provide crypto-asset services across all EU member states and three EEA members. The company provides clients with deep liquidity and competitive electronic pricing for digital assets, with near-instant settlement available 24/7/365.

The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) legislation was proposed by the European Commission in 2020 and adopted by the European Parliament in 2023. Fully applicable to crypto-asset service providers from December 2024, it establishes a unified regulatory framework for crypto-assets across all EU and EEA member states. Prior to securing a CASP licence, B2C2 was registered as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Luxembourg from 2024.

Thomas Restout, Group CEO at B2C2, said: “Obtaining MiCA authorisation is a significant accomplishment for B2C2. It demonstrates the regulatory and operational standards we operate under, and reflects our long-standing focus on regulatory compliance and governance. We are proud to set this benchmark and become the first OTC Liquidity Provider to receive a MiCA CASP licence.”

Denzel Walters, Head of Luxembourg at B2C2, said: “Since launching operations in Luxembourg in 2024, we have been impressed by the country’s forward-looking regulatory approach and growing digital asset ecosystem. Securing MiCA authorisation here enables B2C2 to expand regulated services to clients across the EU.”

In addition to its offices in the Americas and APAC regions, B2C2 operates in four locations in Europe, including its London headquarters, offices in Luxembourg and Paris, and a technology hub in Poland.
