BitGo, the digital asset infrastructure company, has announced that its subsidiary, BitGo Europe, has received approval for the extension of its licence.
The subsidiary received it from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) which allows it to expand its European offering and to include regulated crypto trading services operating out of Frankfurt, Germany.
According to the firm, European institutional investors will now be able to leverage BitGo’s crypto OTC trading desk and electronic trading platform for spot trading across thousands of digital assets and stablecoins in the EU.
It also adds that the investors will have aggregated access to dozens of liquidity sources, including market makers and exchanges, enabling them to trade at competitive prices with quality execution.
After this extension of its Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license, first received from BaFin in May 2025, BitGo Europe will now offer European investors a comprehensive suite of crypto custody, staking, transfer, and crypto trading services.
Brett Reeves, head of European Sales and Go Network at BitGo, says: “We are thrilled to bolster our European platform and enable our clients to trade seamlessly, competitively, and confidently.
“By combining our institutional-grade custody solution with seamless, high-performance execution, clients will now be able to access deep liquidity with the peace of mind that their assets will remain in cold storage under MiCA-compliant, regulated custody.
“This is a game-changer for any institution looking to operate safely and efficiently in the digital assets markets and a strong step forward for Europe’s maturing digital asset ecosystem.”
