Blockchain.com announced the official opening of its office in Malta, aiming to accelerate its expansion in Europe and its commitment to building regulated digital asset infrastructure in the region.
The headquarters will serve as a strategic hub for the company’s operations on the continent, following the obtainment of the MiCA license —the European Union’s first comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets— granted by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). This authorization allows the company to extend its regulated brokerage services across the entire European Economic Area.
Nic Cary, co-founder and vice president of Blockchain.com, highlighted that the choice of Malta was no coincidence, opting for a “thoughtful and forward-looking” approach by the country regarding crypto regulation. The new office will cover regulatory engagement, operational development, and retail client services. Additionally, the company announced the upcoming launch of its institutional business in partnership with licensed firms in the region.
Blockchain.com operates in more than 70 jurisdictions. Since 2011, it has processed over $1.2 trillion in transactions, generated more than 90 million wallets, and verified more than 40 million users worldwide.
