AMINA Bank has announced that its newly established subsidiary, AMINA (Austria) AG (AMINA EU), has received a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) license from Austria’s Financial Market Authority (FMA) under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR) framework.

The license allows AMINA EU to provide regulated crypto trading, custody, portfolio management, and staking services.

These offerings will be available to professional investors, including family offices, corporates, and financial institutions.

AMINA EU will operate a platform designed to provide secure, institutional-grade access to the crypto market.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of AMINA Bank, it leverages the Group’s governance, regulatory expertise, and market experience.

Franz Bergmueller, CEO of AMINA Bank, said:

“All AMINA Group companies put clients first. AMINA EU’s receipt of a MiCA CASP licence further demonstrates AMINA Group’s commitment to the highest regulatory standards and to meeting the growing global demand for trusted crypto services.”

Austria was selected as AMINA EU’s European entry point due to its regulatory framework and focus on investor protection.

The subsidiary has also been notified in 13 additional European countries and can expand into over 30 markets across Europe.

The CASP license authorises AMINA EU to provide custody, exchange, transfer, and portfolio management services for crypto assets, strengthening AMINA Group’s presence in Europe.
