Swiss digital asset bank AMINA has secured regulatory approval from Austria’s Financial Market Authority (FMA) to operate cryptocurrency services under the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework. The license allows AMINA EU (AMINA [Austria] AG) to launch across Europe, offering crypto trading, custody, portfolio management, and staking services to professional investors, including family offices and financial institutions.

Formerly known as SEBA Bank, AMINA already holds a Swiss banking license from FINMA, alongside crypto licenses in Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi. CEO Franz Bergmueller highlighted that the bank provides everything from traditional banking to tokenization, noting strong growth in its gold token product.

Austria was selected as AMINA’s European base for its regulatory rigor and investor protection standards. The move comes as MiCA ushers in a unified crypto framework across the EU, signaling growing maturity in digital asset markets. Bergmueller praised Europe’s progress, saying he was “positively shocked” by its commitment to clear crypto regulation.
