The European outpost of KuCoin, that digital alchemist of bits and bytes, has now secured a MiCAR license from Austria, a feat achieved with the vigor of a man trying to avoid a tax audit. This bureaucratic triumph allows them to peddle their crypto wares across 30+ EU/EEA nations, as if they’ve discovered a loophole in the Geneva Convention of regulation.
MiCAR Licenses Make a Difference (Or So We’re Told)
On Nov. 28, KuCoin EU announced its licensing coup, a move that would make a Victorian novelist weep at the audacity of modern commerce. With this license, they now operate across the EU like a well-dressed ghost haunting every café and village square, despite the license originating from a single market. A logistical marvel, or a regulatory farce?
Big news for Europe, bigger news for the world! 🌍 KuCoin EU is now officially MiCAR-compliant and approved by the Austrian FMA! Secure, regulated crypto access is coming to the EU very soon.
The future of crypto is global and compliant. Let’s go! 🚀#KuCoin #MiCAR…

This long-awaited approval marks a significant expansion, akin to a Victorian explorer discovering a new continent-except the continent is regulatory compliance, and the explorer is a tech bro in a hoodie.
KuCoin, ever the optimist, claims to deliver “tailored crypto services” while aligning with Europe’s regulatory whims. They first applied for the license in February, choosing Vienna as their European HQ-a city that takes blockchain innovation as seriously as it does its coffee. Their CEO, BC Wong, waxed poetic about compliance and user experience, a rare combination like finding a honest telemarketer.
Meanwhile, other crypto exchanges have similarly “bagged” licenses, a veritable stampede of compliance that raises questions about the rigor of some regulators. For instance, Luxembourg’s Blockchain.com secured a MiCAR license in Malta last October, a move that would make even the most seasoned regulator question their life choices.
KuCoin’s Global License Grab (And Why It Matters)
With 40 million users across 200 countries, KuCoin has been busy collecting licenses like Pokémon cards. In September, they partnered with VBA and 1Matrix in Vietnam, a collaboration so harmonious it could’ve been written by a committee of bureaucrats and poets.
They’ve also entered Brazil via Pix, a payment system that now lets users spend 50 cryptocurrencies at merchants-because nothing says “financial revolution” like buying a coffee with Dogecoin. Prior to this, KuCoin registered with Australia’s Austrac, a decision that likely involved a spreadsheet and a prayer.
