WhiteBIT secures MiCA license in Austria ahead of July 1 EU deadline

Crypto exchange WhiteBIT obtained MiCA authorization from Austria's regulator, allowing it to offer regulated services across the European Economic Area through a single license just weeks before the July 1 deadline.

• WhiteBIT received MiCA authorization from Austria's Financial Market Authority, enabling passporting across the European Economic Area.
• The exchange plans to launch a dedicated European platform at whitebit.eu.
• Austria did not extend grandfathering provisions, becoming one of the first EU jurisdictions to fully transition to MiCA.
• The July 1 deadline means crypto firms without MiCA licenses must stop serving EU clients or face enforcement.
