Overview
- BingX EU, which received the authorisation on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, was granted a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) licence by Austria’s Financial Market Authority covering 29 EEA countries.
- The licence classifies BingX EU as a crypto-asset service provider and, according to the company, covers custody, exchange, and brokerage services.
- BingX EU said it will continue to work with the Austrian FMA and other European regulators but has not announced a launch date or detailed which products will be available to customers.
- Austria’s FMA has become a common gateway for non‑domestic exchanges seeking MiCA authorisations, following earlier approvals for platforms such as Bybit and KuCoin.
- MiCA creates a single EU rulebook for crypto firms but does not automatically allow immediate pan‑EEA operations because each country’s passporting and transition rules must still be completed, which will shape when and how Europeans gain access to BingX’s regulated services.
