🇫🇷 BingX EU: MiCAR licence in Austria. A local authorisation ≠ a platform already open across Europe.
📌 The facts (FMA, decision dated 13 Oct. / published 14 Oct. 2026)
• Entity: MEGE zweite GmbH (FN 666009a, Vienna) — BingX EU
• Legal basis: Article 63 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR)
• CASP = crypto-asset service provider (national licence)
• Just 4 services: custody & administration for clients; crypto↔funds/fiat exchange; crypto↔crypto exchange; transfers for clients
• BingX EU blog (updated 16 Oct.): aims to reach 29 EEA countries via passporting — NO launch date, country rollout order, or complete product list
• CEO Daniel Lai: priority = locally regulated, trustworthy trading
• Context: the FMA has already licensed other European players (e.g. Bybit/KuCoin entities, The Token Press)
🧠 How it works
MiCAR sets EU rules. Austria (FMA) issues the licence. “Passporting” means notifying other states in order to offer authorised services there. Without that step (and without going live), the licence remains on paper.
⚖️ The nuance
A licence ≠ going live in 29 countries tomorrow. It covers only 4 services — not BingX’s entire global catalogue. Passporting is still underway. No date has been announced.
👤 Fatou, a nurse in Lyon (diaspora), sometimes sends money to her family. She wonders whether “regulated in the EU” means it’s already safe for her. The answer: the framework is advancing, but she should wait until the service is actually live and confirm which countries have active passporting before changing her habits.
✅ Key takeaway: FMA licence = legal green light in Austria + 4 services. The rest (29 EEA countries, date, products) isn’t here yet.
Would you prefer a platform that’s already EU-regulated… or wait until it’s actually live where you are? 👇
Not investment or financial advice. DYOR.
