Coinbase Wins European MiCA License in Luxembourg

Crypto exchange Coinbase has won a European Union Markets in Crypto Assets license (MiCA) from Luxembourg, the company said in a statement on Friday. The exchange, which is the fifth-largest crypto exchange by volume according to CoinGecko, will now be able to offer services across the 30 nations in the European Economic Area. It joins other major exchanges which have secured the MiCA license. Bybit, the second largest exchange secured its MiCA license from Austria in May, while, OKX and secured their MiCA licenses from Malta. Though the EU MiCA license grants companies access to all the nations in the European Union plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, countries in the bloc have still been vying to attract major crypto companies. "Luxembourg has always been a key player in Europe's financial ecosystem, and we're delighted to share that Coinbase is officially establishing its European crypto hub in this dynamic country, under the Markets in Crypto Assets regulatory framework (MiCA)," Coinbase said in its statement. Luxembourg has passed four blockchain-related policies through national legislature, Coinbase said. Update (June 20, 15:18 UTC ): Adds more context to the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs.

Nearly 1,000 ships see GPS jams near Iran coast, group says

Nearly 1,000 ships have experienced 'persistent and sometimes severe' GPS signal jams every day the past week near Iran as the country continues to face bombardment from Israel's military, a French naval monitoring firm warned Friday. The Maritime Information, Cooperation and Awareness (MICA) Center wrote in a post on the social platform X that the situation 'makes it harder to navigate safely at night, in poor visibility and/or when traffic density is heavy.' '(It) also can lead to accidental situations,' the group wrote. MICA said it's possible that the GPS issue may have contributed to the recent collision of two giant tankers, ADALYNN and Front Eagle, in the Gulf of Oman near the United Arab Emirates, but the organization cautioned that crash remains under investigation. Israel and Iran have been exchanging strikes for the past week, after Israel launched a surprise attack against Iran's nuclear facilities and military sites. MICA noted that maritime trade was not being targeted in an analysis of the military conflict's impact on Wednesday. 'In spite of the media narrative of a potential blockade … there is no information pointing towards a blockade,' the group wrote. It urged ships to avoid Iranian territorial waters and be aware of potential GPS jamming.

Coinbase secures EU crypto license, swaps Ireland for Luxembourg as main hub

Coinbase has secured a license from Luxembourg to offer crypto services across the European Union and will make the country its central hub in the region. The U.S. crypto exchange's main European base has been in Ireland since 2023. Coinbase said Friday that it obtained its Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) license from Luxembourg's Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). MiCA is a sweeping regulation that aims to create a harmonized legal framework for crypto across all 27 EU member states. The rules, which came fully into force late last year, also aim to reduce risks for consumers buying crypto assets following a series of scandals in the sector. It makes Coinbase the first U.S. crypto exchange to receive a MiCA license. Rival firm Gemini, which is owned by the Winklevoss twins, is expected to receive its own EU license from Malta soon. Gemini chose Malta as its MiCA hub in January. "Coinbase is all in on Europe, and we're advocating for crypto's future across the continent," Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong told CNBC. "MiCA has set the standard, and Luxembourg is leading the way with its pro-business climate and thoughtful approach to regulation." Previously, Coinbase decided on Ireland as its central EU hub in 2023 and launched a big public relations blitz around the move at the time. However, the company ultimately backtracked on this decision, concluding Luxembourg would make more sense for its status as a "forward-thinking financial hub." "The decision was made less-so due to Ireland, but rather for the reasons that Luxembourg presented a highly compelling option," Daniel Seifert, vice president and regional managing director of EMEA at Coinbase, told CNBC. Luxembourg has four blockchain-related policies that have been signed into law, whereas Ireland currently lacks any crypto-specific laws. He added that Coinbase is still investing heavily in Ireland with "imminent" plans to add around 50 jobs to its local Dublin office. Seifert has also personally relocated to the country from Germany as CEO of Coinbase's Irish entity. Globally, Coinbase isn't the first to receive crypto authorization across the EU — but it is one of the largest. Rival exchanges Bybit, OKX and BitGo have all secured their own respective MiCA licenses.
