Coinbase, a global leader in regulatory compliance and crypto innovation, is proud to announce a major milestone in its international expansion: the establishment of its European crypto hub in Luxembourg under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework.

This milestone marks a significant step forward for Coinbase, enabling the company to operate under a unified, regulated crypto environment across one of the world’s largest economic regions. With this development, Coinbase can now offer its full suite of crypto products and services to approximately 450 million people across all 27 European Union member states.

“Europe is setting the global standard for crypto regulation, and Luxembourg is at the heart of this transformation,” said Nana Murugesan, Vice President of International and Business Development at Coinbase. “By establishing our MiCA hub in Luxembourg, we are strengthening our presence in a country known for its forward-thinking financial policies and regulatory clarity.”

Luxembourg’s leadership in financial innovation and its proactive approach to blockchain and digital assets made it a natural choice for Coinbase. The country has enacted four blockchain-related laws and is actively pursuing a whole-of-government strategy to support digital finance. This regulatory maturity reinforces Luxembourg’s reputation as a premier destination for fintech and crypto businesses.

Over the past several years, Coinbase has built a strong foundation in Europe, securing licences in Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. MiCA now allows Coinbase to unify these efforts under a single, comprehensive framework—streamlining operations, ensuring consistency, and providing greater access to regulated crypto services across the continent.

While MiCA sets the groundwork for a thriving crypto ecosystem, Coinbase encourages policymakers across the EU to continue moving swiftly and ambitiously to ensure the region remains a competitive global hub for digital assets. The Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) has set a high bar in regulatory standards, and Coinbase hopes to see this leadership mirrored throughout the EU.

“This is a pivotal moment for Coinbase, for Luxembourg, and for the future of crypto in Europe,” said Daniel Seifert, Vice President and Regional Managing Director, EMEA. “We are committed to contributing to Europe’s vibrant economy and advancing our mission of increasing economic freedom around the world.”
