CoinShares Obtains French MiCA License

CoinShares, a leading European digital asset investment firm, has been granted a license under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), marking a key milestone in its regulatory compliance efforts.

The license was secured through its French subsidiary, CoinShares Asset Management, the company revealed on Wednesday. With this approval, CoinShares becomes the first continental European asset manager to be fully authorized under MiCA.

As one of Europe’s top providers of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), CoinShares has also been growing its U.S. footprint since acquiring Valkyrie Funds in 2023.

The MiCA license adds to CoinShares’ existing regulatory approvals, which include the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) and the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFM). The firm now holds a triple regulatory authorization, making it the only continental European asset manager with this distinction—enabling it to offer comprehensive services across all EU asset classes.
