Swiss Crypto Bank AMINA Secures MiCA License in Austria

Swiss Crypto Bank AMINA has obtained a regulatory license from Austria's Financial Market Authority (FMA) to operate cryptocurrency services across Europe under the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework. The bank's Austrian subsidiary, AMINA EU, aims to launch crypto trading, custody, portfolio management, and staking services for professional investors, including family offices, corporations, and financial institutions. AMINA, formerly SEBA Bank, already holds a banking license from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and has licenses in Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi. CEO Franz Bergmueller noted Austria's regulatory robustness and investor protection as key factors in selecting it as their European base. The move reflects the maturation of the digital asset market within a unified European regulatory framework, despite some challenges in the MiCA rollout.
