BingX EU Announces Austrian MiCA License for 29 EEA Countries Without Launch Date

BingX EU announced on October 14, 2026, that Austria's Financial Market Authority (FMA) granted it a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) authorization covering 29 European Economic Area (EEA) countries, though the company has not provided a launch date for European customers. The crypto-asset service provider (CASP) license permits BingX EU, which operates in Vienna under the entity name MEGE zweite GmbH, to offer custody, exchange, and brokerage services across the bloc under a single rulebook. The approval arrived several months after MiCA's transitional period ended on July 1, 2026, a cutoff after which only authorized providers can serve EEA clients. BingX EU's application with the FMA had reached an advanced stage by June 16, 2026. As of mid-October 2026, BingX did not yet appear in the public CASP register maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). Founded in 2018, BingX states that it serves more than 40M users worldwide and joins platforms such as Bybit and Bitpanda in obtaining MiCA authorization in Austria.
