MiCA has paved the way for compliant crypto brokerage services in the EU, but launching a service requires several high-level decisions, including whether to implement an offering from scratch, or use a white-label service provider. Michael Bußhaus, our guest on this episode, has a wealth of experience launching online brokerages – including in his latest role as CEO at justTRADE, a European white-label exchange supporting crypto trading, as well as securities and derivatives.
Listen as our host Stuart and guest Michael discuss the evolution of EU crypto brokerage services under the MiCA regulation, including:
- Considerations before branching out into crypto-asset brokerage
- Challenges and barriers to crypto-asset brokerage, and how to overcome them
- The future of regulated crypto-asset brokerage in the EU
