Crypto payments firm MoonPay secures MiCA approval in the Netherlands
Dec. 30 marked the end of the implementation phase of the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework, as authorities can enforce rules on certain crypto service providers operating in the EU.
MoonPay reported receiving approval to operate as a licensed crypto business in the Netherlands under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) bill.
In a Dec. 30 notice, MoonPay said the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets had issued the crypto firm a license in accordance with MiCA regulations. The regulatory framework, first adopted in 2023, was fully enforceable for crypto asset service providers operating in the EU as of Dec. 30.
