Key Highlights
SwissBorg said it has secured MiCA authorisation from France’s AMF and will migrate EU operations from its Estonian entity to a French entity.
COO Jeremy Baumann said tougher MiCA standards could reduce the number of “lightly structured” platforms, leaving fewer, more resilient players.
SwissBorg is targeting growth in major EU markets, including Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain.
SwissBorg has obtained authorisation under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework from France’s Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), positioning the crypto wealth manager to expand across the bloc under a single regulatory regime.
COO Jeremy Baumann said that MiCA raises the bar on compliance and operations in a way that may “reduce the number of lightly structured players,” potentially leaving fewer firms able to operate sustainably as the economics of brokerage and yield products tighten.
SwissBorg plans to move EU operations from its Estonian entity to a French structure over the coming months and expects the MiCA framework to standardize how products such as staking/yield are presented, with clearer disclosures and risk controls.
The company will focus next on expanding into markets such as Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain. MiCA-driven exits by some global platforms have created openings for EU-based firms seeking to scale under the new regime.
