Swiss-based crypto bank AMINA has officially expanded its footprint in the European Union, with its Austrian subsidiary, AMINA (Austria) AG, securing a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license from the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA).
The approval, granted on October 29, 2025, marks a significant milestone for institutional crypto adoption under the EU’s new standardized framework.
The MiCA license authorizes AMINA to offer a full suite of regulated digital asset services to professional investors, including family offices, corporations, and financial institutions. The approved activities cover:
- Custody and administration of crypto-assets
- Exchange services between crypto-assets and fiat currencies
- Crypto-to-crypto trading
- Portfolio management on digital assets
- Transfer services for crypto-assets
By obtaining the license, AMINA (Austria) AG can now legally operate across Austria’s regulated financial marketand position itself for passporting access throughout the European Union once MiCA’s cross-border framework takes full effect in 2026.
This development underscores AMINA’s broader European expansion strategy, leveraging MiCA’s unified rulebook to offer compliant crypto banking and asset management services across multiple jurisdictions.
Industry observers view AMINA’s move as a template for other institutional crypto providers seeking to gain early regulatory approval within the EU. As MiCA becomes fully operational, firms like AMINA are expected to play a pivotal role in bridging traditional finance and digital asset infrastructure across Europe.
