BitGo Europe Secures BaFin Approval to Launch Regulated Crypto Trading Services

Subscribe to our newsletter

BitGo Europe GmbH, the digital asset infrastructure company, has received an extension of its licence from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). The approval allows BitGo Europe to expand its regulated offering to include crypto trading services from Frankfurt, enabling European institutional investors to access spot trading across a wide range of digital assets and stablecoins.

Through its over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and electronic platform, BitGo Europe aggregates liquidity from multiple market makers and exchanges, offering clients competitive pricing and reliable execution. This expansion follows BitGo Europe’s initial MiCA licence approval from BaFin in May 2025, strengthening its regulated presence in the EU.

With custody, staking, transfer, and now trading services available under one framework, BitGo Europe positions itself as one of the few regulated custodians in the region to provide a full-stack platform. The integrated service aims to help institutions deploy capital more efficiently while maintaining security and compliance.
