The cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp has obtained the MiFID MTF license from the Slovenian Securities Market Agency, which allows it to offer regulated cryptocurrency derivatives in the EU, including perpetual swaps, to both institutional and retail investors.
This license, which regulates traditional EU financial markets, covers stocks, securities, and derivatives. Bitstamp has become one of the first crypto exchanges to obtain MiFID MTF, enabling the offering of more complex financial products.
Bitstamp CEO Jean-Baptiste Grafite highlighted that the license confirms the platform’s high level of security and reliability.
