On 3 November 2025 AMINA announced it had secured the MiCA license in Austria, paving the way for a regulated EU rollout of its institutional crypto services.
Summary
What does the AMINA EU launch mean after the MiCA license?
The Austria FMA issued the MiCA approval that allows AMINA EU to operate from Austria under the EU framework. AMINA EU will offer regulated crypto trading, custody, portfolio management and staking at launch for professional investors, including family offices, corporates and financial institutions.
How does the AMINA MiCA license reflect crypto and global licensing?
AMINA is the rebranded firm formerly known as SEBA Bank. The group already holds a FINMA banking licence and crypto licences in Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi, which it cites as foundations for scaling services across Europe.
Franz Bergmueller, CEO of AMINA Bank, said:
“We offer everything from bank accounts to crypto-bank loans, all done in a regulated way.”
The MiCA approval sits within the EU’s Markets in Crypto‑Assets framework and follows the broader regulatory roadmap set by the European Commission.
What will AMINA staking services cover and who can access them?
At launch staking will be offered alongside custody, trading and portfolio management, but only to professional clients rather than retail investors. Operational details such as supported assets, custody architecture and counterparty limits remain subject to disclosure and local supervisory approval. Note: AMINA has stated the offering targets institutional treasury and accredited investor use-cases.
In brief: The Austria FMA MiCA approval positions AMINA to provide regulated trading, custody, portfolio management and staking to institutional clients while leveraging its existing FINMA and international licences to pursue expansion across Europe.
