BitGo MiCA status in detail

Yes, BitGo has a current MiCA register entry supervised by BaFin in Germany, dated May 2025. BaFin authorised the institutional custody specialist as a CASP in May 2025. The authorisation covers six of the ten MiCA services, including custody, exchange and execution for institutional clients.

Common questions

Who regulates BitGo in the EU?

BitGo has a current MiCA register entry in Germany, dated May 2025. BaFin supervises the entry. The registered entity is BitGo Europe GmbH. The ESMA register is the source of truth for the current entity and service scope.

Can BitGo serve customers across the whole EEA?

ESMA’s register lists all 29 other EEA states as host states for the services in BitGo’s home entry. The list records notifications to host regulators and is not evidence that every service is live in each country, so check the contracting entity for your country.

Does MiCA protect my funds on BitGo?

MiCA applies conduct and disclosure rules to the registered EEA entity for the recorded service. Safeguarding duties depend on which service and entity hold client crypto-assets or funds. Article 75 covers custody liability for attributable loss and caps that liability. MiCA does not provide a deposit guarantee, and crypto-assets can lose value.

How do I verify BitGo’s licence myself?

Search the official ESMA CASP register for BitGo Europe GmbH. National regulators update the records each week. Use the official register as the authoritative source.
