What this means for you:

At Coinhouse, we have chosen compliance from day one. This commitment is deeply rooted in our DNA, and we were the first digital asset service provider to be registered with the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) as early as 2020.

Today, Coinhouse is licensed as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider under the European Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, known as MiCA.

For our clients, this means the implementation of concrete measures to meet higher standards in transparency, protection, internal controls, and security, all in the interest of better service quality.

MiCA is a foundation, not an end goal. Coinhouse stands out as a benchmark player in crypto-asset investing, with an expert approach to crypto-asset advice and allocation, backed by more than 12 years of experience.
