Tangany Secures MiCAR License, Affirming Its Role as Leading Crypto Custodian

• Tangany secures the MiCAR license, reinforcing its role as a trusted infrastructure provider for digital asset custody across Europe.

• MiCAR enables Tangany to be able to operate as a regulated custodian in the EU  through passporting.  

• The license covers custody, staking, and transfers of digital assets, and marks a strategic step in the company’s European expansion.

• Tangany begins EU-wide expansion,  offering customized, locally compliant digital asset infrastructure beyond Germany.

Munich, September 4, 2025 – Tangany, a leading provider of digital asset custody infrastructure with more than €3 billion in Assets Under Custody (AUC) and over 700,000 customers in Germany served via institutional partners, has successfully obtained its license under the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR). The license enables Tangany to passport its regulated custody, staking, and transfer services across the European Union.

This regulatory achievement affirms Tangany’s continued commitment to compliance, transparency, and innovation in digital asset custody and staking services. 

Enabling Seamless Cross-Border Institutional Access

MiCAR represents a harmonized regulatory standard for crypto services in Europe. It provides legal clarity, investor protection, and a consistent framework for offering digital asset services across EU borders. With its license, Tangany can now support cross-border digital asset services through a single, EU-wide authorization. Enabling Seamless Cross-Border Institutional Access.

Tangany is beginning its European rollout with a focus on France, Austria, Spain, and the Netherlands. Each market will benefit from localized and customized regulatory solutions, tailored to meet jurisdiction-specific requirements. Tangany distinguishes itself by operating under top-tier regulatory frameworks like Germany’s BaFin and now MiCAR, known as the gold standard, setting it apart from providers operating under less rigorous frameworks.

Tangany – Scaling Its Regulated Infrastructure Across Europe

With MiCAR in effect, Tangany is now scaling its proven custody and staking infrastructure across the EU. Several existing institutional partners are preparing to expand alongside Tangany’s European footprint. 

Subject to final approval, Tangany plans to name Flatex as its first MiCAR-aligned EU partner, a significant milestone in pan-European custody services for traditional financial institutions. 

flatexDEGIRO, headquartered in Frankfurt, is one of Europe’s largest online brokers, serving over 3 million customers across 16 countries. As a fully licensed German bank and a MDAX-listed company, flatexDEGIRO combines robust regulatory oversight with cutting-edge trading infrastructure. Its integration with Tangany’s MiCAR-compliant custody framework will enable seamless access to regulated digital asset services for millions of European retail and institutional investors. This partnership underscores a shared vision: delivering secure, compliant, and scalable digital asset solutions to mainstream financial markets.

Institutions seeking trustworthy, long-term custody infrastructure recognize Tangany as the champion of best-in-class compliance, transparency, and regulatory reliability, meeting the highest standards.

Securing the MiCAR license is a pivotal step for Tangany and for the maturation of Europe’s crypto ecosystem. It allows us to confidently expand our offering across borders, and give institutions a compliant foundation to build on.

Regulated from the Start, Now Passportable Across the EU

Tangany has operated under Germany’s regulatory framework since 2021, licensed as a qualified crypto custodian under the German Banking Act (KWG). The MiCAR license builds on this foundation and brings the same regulatory quality and operational standards to the European level.

MiCAR doesn’t fundamentally change how we work. It confirms and extends what we've built over years of professional, regulated practice. It enables us to support financial institutions throughout Europe with the same level of transparency, security, and regulatory reliability they already know from Germany.

Licensing Milestone and Strategic Growth Outlook

Tangany has successfully completed its MiCAR-aligned licensing process, led internally by Christopher Zapf, with essential advisory support from Hagen Weiss (PwC). This achievement reflects the team's dedicated efforts to harmonize internal operations, client services, and legal frameworks with evolving European regulatory standards.

The partnership with FlatexDEGIRO marks the starting point of Tangany’s broader European expansion, with additional partners expected to follow in the coming months.

Powering the Regulated Future of Digital Assets

Tangany’s infrastructure supports a broad range of institutional use cases, including regulated custody, staking, crypto securities registries, and tokenized asset infrastructure. With MiCAR approval, Tangany continues its mission to make regulated digital asset access simple, secure, and scalable for financial institutions throughout the EU. 

With local presence strategies and bespoke support for each jurisdiction, Tangany ensures its institutional partners can operate with confidence, not only under EU law but also in line with national regulatory nuances and expectations.
