BitGo rolls out Crypto-as-a-Service across the European Economic Area

BitGo Europe GmbH has launched its Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) across the European Economic Area, making the company's API-driven custody, wallet, trading and settlement capabilities available to fintechs and banks in all 30 EEA countries. The offering operates under BitGo Europe GmbH’s MiCAR licensing framework and includes insured custodial wallets, SEPA fiat rails, KYC API flows, and configurable policy controls.

Key Points

  • BitGo Europe GmbH has launched Crypto-as-a-Service across all 30 EEA countries under a MiCAR licensing framework, enabling regulated firms to offer crypto products.
  • The service provides API and webhook integrations for custody, wallets, trading and settlement, plus SEPA fiat connectivity and API-based KYC flows - impacting fintech, banking, and crypto infrastructure sectors.
  • Included features cover qualified custody, custodial wallet insurance up to $250 million, customizable policy controls, and dedicated account management with technical support.

BitGo Europe GmbH (BTGO) has announced the expansion of its Crypto-as-a-Service product to cover the European Economic Area. The move makes the company's regulated digital-asset infrastructure available to financial institutions and fintech firms across all 30 EEA countries.

The CaaS product enables banks and fintech platforms to embed cryptocurrency functions via BitGo’s APIs and webhooks. Through the integration, customer-facing platforms can support buying, selling, and custody of bitcoin and other assets that BitGo supports, backed by the company’s wallet technology.


Service scope and capabilities

BitGo Europe GmbH operates the service under a MiCAR licensing framework that applies across the full EEA footprint. Core features of the offering include multi-asset wallets capable of qualified custody, custodial wallets insured up to $250 million, and API-based KYC flows to support user verification processes. The platform also provides trading and settlement functionality.

Additional elements of the package are fiat-to-crypto connectivity for European Union transactions using SEPA rails, configurable policy controls including spending limits, and assigned account management together with technical support.


Executive commentary

"Europe is entering a new era for regulated digital asset services, and institutions want a clear, compliant path to launch," said Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-founder of BitGo. "By expanding Crypto-as-a-Service across the EEA through BitGo Europe GmbH, we’re enabling regulated businesses to bring crypto products to market faster."

On the region-specific value proposition, Brett Reeves, Head of EMEA at BitGo, said: "Trust is the differentiator in Europe’s regulated crypto market. BitGo’s CaaS combines qualified custody, configurable policy controls, and enterprise-grade operational support."


Company context

BitGo, founded in 2013, operates several regulated entities including BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association in the United States. The firm offers a suite of services spanning custody, wallets, staking, trading, financing, stablecoins, and settlement, with regulated cold storage as part of its custody model.

This EEA rollout follows the company’s existing U.S. CaaS availability via BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association, extending the same API-driven tooling to a broader regulated market in Europe.

Risks

  • The service is dependent on operation under BitGo Europe GmbH’s MiCAR licensing framework across the EEA - regulatory conditions and compliance obligations will be central to deployment (impacts banks and fintechs).
  • Custodial wallet insurance is limited to up to $250 million, which may constrain coverage relative to asset exposures for some institutional clients (impacts asset managers and banking custody services).
  • Institutions require a clear, compliant path to launch regulated digital asset services, and meeting these expectations is a prerequisite for adoption (impacts market trust and adoption among regulated financial institutions).
