- Coinbase can now legally operate across all 27 EU member states under a single license
- Luxembourg becomes Coinbase’s new crypto HQ in Europe, replacing Ireland
- MiCA opens doors to regulated crypto expansion across one of the largest economic zones globally
Coinbase just hit a major milestone in Europe: it’s now officially licensed under MiCA via Luxembourg’s financial regulator.
This means the exchange can legally offer crypto services across all 27 EU countries — no more fragmented regulation, just one unified license.
The math in Europe is simple. Regulation = clarity = opportunity. We are grateful to work with forward-thinking regulators like the CSSF. https://t.co/5BIZG0nxM0

With this, Luxembourg becomes Coinbase’s new European hub, overtaking Ireland. The country has already passed four blockchain-related laws, making it a smart move for long-term crypto strategy.
This isn’t just good news for Coinbase — it sets the tone for the entire industry. MiCA brings clarity, and clarity brings opportunity. Coinbase saw it early and got in fast.
