B2C2 becomes first global OTC liquidity provider licensed under MiCA after securing Luxembourg CSSF approval!

B2C2 has secured a Crypto-Asset Service Provider license from Luxembourg's CSSF under the EU's MiCA framework, positioning the firm as what it claims is the first global OTC liquidity provider to receive MiCA authorization. The license enables B2C2 to offer over-the-counter crypto trading services across all EU member states under a single regulatory passport.

The milestone matters beyond one firm's compliance win. MiCA's passporting mechanism means a single license granted in one EU jurisdiction unlocks the entire bloc — a structural advantage that will likely accelerate institutional OTC activity in Europe as other providers race to secure equivalent authorization.

For institutional counterparties operating in the EU, a MiCA-licensed OTC desk removes a key compliance friction point: they can now trade with B2C2 knowing the counterparty sits inside the EU regulatory perimeter.
