Bitcoin Suisse (Europe) AG has been granted a license as a Crypto Asset Service Provider by the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. The approval lets the firm serve clients across selected EEA markets, replacing an earlier domestic registration. It's the first concrete step in the company's push to operate under the bloc's harmonized rules.
The regulatory upgrade
Until now, Bitcoin Suisse's European entity operated under Liechtenstein's Token and TT Service Provider Act, a national framework. The MiCAR license provides passporting rights across the EEA, cutting the need for separate approvals in each country. The Liechtenstein FMA said the move aligns with the phased implementation of MiCAR, which became fully applicable earlier this year.
Who's leading the push
Roman Przibylla has been appointed CEO of Bitcoin Suisse (Europe) AG to steer the expansion. He brings more than 15 years of distribution experience from senior roles at Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, HSBC, Vontobel and Maverix Securities. His mandate is to build out the European client base and deepen relationships with institutional investors.
Bitcoin Suisse's service lineup
The company offers trading, custody and staking, supported by proprietary infrastructure and dedicated relationship managers. Bitcoin Suisse Group, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, was founded in 2013 by crypto natives. It now employs over 200 people across Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the United Arab Emirates and Bermuda. Group CEO Andrej Majcen said the license marks a milestone in the firm's European strategy.
The next concrete step: Bitcoin Suisse will begin rolling out services in selected EEA markets over the coming months, led by Przibylla's team. The timing puts it ahead of many rivals still navigating national-level approvals under MiCAR's transitional provisions.
