Is Bitkub MiCA-licensed?
Status checked on 2 August 2026 against the official ESMA register
Bitkub does not hold a verified MiCA CASP licence. Bitkub Online Co. is Thailand’s largest baht exchange. The Thai SEC has licensed it since 2019 and granted it a digital-asset broker licence in May 2025. Bitkub serves the Thai market and is not on the ESMA CASP register.
Practical effect: Bitkub has no verified CASP authorisation. Check the contracting entity and any separate permissions before you rely on MiCA conduct, safeguarding or complaint rights.

Common questions
Can I still use Bitkub from the EU?
MiCA does not itself make account holding illegal. National and product rules can still apply. Since 1 July 2026, an in-scope provider generally needs an Article 63 authorisation or an eligible Article 60 notification route. Bitkub can apply location restrictions or close user accounts.
Is money on Bitkub protected under MiCA?
Bitkub has no verified CASP authorisation. Do not assume that MiCA conduct, safeguarding or EU-regulator complaint rights apply to the service. Verify the contracting entity and any separate permissions.
Is there a MiCA-licensed alternative to Bitkub?
Yes. 51 of the exchanges we track have current MiCA register entries. The licensed list shows each mapped entity, regulator and entry date.
