BNY Expands Regulated Crypto Custody Across The European Union Under MiCA

What it means

Institutional clients in the European Union are the immediate audience for this move, because the custody service is being offered to selected institutional clients across the region. Anyone watching regulated crypto services in Europe can also see BNY’s European banking entity now listed in the ESMA MiCA register, which is the change that makes the service visible in a regulated setting.

Before this step, BNY had not described this custody platform as operating in the EU under MiCA; now it does. What stays the same is that the service is still a custody and administration offering rather than something else, and the assets named in the offering remain Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and USD Coin.
