KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, announced that its European entity, KuCoin EU Exchange GmbH (KuCoin EU),  has officially obtained a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) license in Austria. This authorization allows KuCoin EU to offer fully compliant digital asset services across 29 countries in the European Economic Area (EEA, except Malta).

The approval marks a major advancement in KuCoin's global compliance roadmap and signifies the company's successful alignment with one of the most comprehensive and highest-standard digital asset regulatory frameworks in the world.

MiCAR is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous, structured, and forward-looking regulatory systems for digital assets globally. By securing the license via its local EU entity, KuCoin reinforces its position as a compliance-aligned global exchange and validates its commitment to operating under the world's most trusted regulatory regimes.

The achievement builds upon KuCoin's broader global compliance expansion, including securing AUSTRAC Digital Currency Exchange Registration in Australia this November, as well as the enhancement of its compliance infrastructure across multiple major jurisdictions. MiCAR authorization enables KuCoin EU to deliver secure, transparent, and compliant services to millions of European users under a unified, high-integrity regulatory framework.
