Yes. On 6 July 2026, Finary obtained its MiCA license as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP), issued by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). Finary is therefore licensed to offer its crypto services in the European Union.
This license succeeds the digital asset service provider registration obtained in 2022: that was an earlier step, now replaced by the MiCA framework.
What is MiCA?
MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) is the European regulation governing crypto-assets. It has applied since 30 December 2024. In France, platforms that were already registered were able to continue operating during a transition period, which ended on 1 July 2026. Any platform offering crypto services in Europe must now be licensed under it.
Finary, dual-regulated for crypto and stock market investing
Finary is also licensed as an investment firm (MiFID). Finary thus offers, on a single platform, crypto services licensed under MiCA and investment services (stocks, ETFs) licensed under MiFID.
What does this change for me?
Nothing in your day-to-day use: there is no service interruption and no action is required on your part. The change concerns the regulatory framework and the stricter requirements that Finary now meets.
Is Finary affected by the ban on unlicensed platforms?
No. Finary is licensed under the MiCA regulation.
