What the authorisation covers

ZBX is authorised for 8 of the ten crypto-asset services defined in Article 3(1)(16) of MiCA. It is not authorised for advice on crypto-assets, portfolio management — if it offers those, that activity is outside this licence.

  • a Custody and administration 28 countries Holding clients' crypto-assets or the private keys to them, and keeping them safe. This is what a wallet service or an exchange that keeps your coins does.
  • b Operating a trading platform 28 countries Running a marketplace where buyers and sellers of crypto-assets are matched — an order-book exchange in the strict sense.
  • c Exchange for funds 28 countries Buying crypto-assets from clients, or selling to them, against money (euro or another currency) using the provider's own capital.
  • d Exchange for other crypto-assets 28 countries Swapping one crypto-asset for another with the client, using the provider's own capital — for example bitcoin for a stablecoin.
  • e Execution of orders 28 countries Concluding purchases or sales of crypto-assets on the client's behalf, including on a third-party trading platform.
  • f Placing of crypto-assets 28 countries Marketing newly issued crypto-assets to buyers on behalf of the issuer — the crypto equivalent of underwriting or an IPO placement.
  • g Reception and transmission of orders 28 countries Taking a client's order to buy or sell and passing it on to another provider that executes it — a broker that does not execute itself.
  • j Transfer services 28 countries Moving crypto-assets from one distributed-ledger address or account to another on the client's behalf.

Not authorised: h. Advice on crypto-assets · i. Portfolio management.
