Webull receives EU MiCA license to offer crypto services

The online brokerage firm Webull has received regulatory approval to launch cryptocurrency services across the European Union, marking a significant expansion of its business under the bloc's new digital asset rules. The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets granted the authorization under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation on Monday, July 13, 2026.

This approval allows Webull EU to begin offering regulated crypto custody services, with an initial rollout planned for the Netherlands before expanding to other EU member states through a process known as passporting. The company intends to launch its full suite of crypto trading and custody operations in late 2026. Trade execution for clients will be handled through a partnership with Coinbase Luxembourg.

Andries van Luijk, CEO of Webull Securities Europe, described the approval as an important milestone for the company's European ambitions, stating it remains committed to providing secure and compliant access to digital assets under the EU framework. The authorization positions Webull as one of the first dual-regulated investment firms in the Netherlands to receive such approval under MiCA.
