Anycoin Direct, a Dutch cryptocurrency platform, has reached an important milestone by becoming the first Dutch cryptocurrency platform to receive the coveted license from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). This trading and custody license enables Anycoin Direct to offer secure cryptocurrency custody and trading services in Germany that are fully compliant with strict transparency, consumer protection and security regulations. With a decade of experience in the cryptocurrency industry, Anycoin Direct is one of the most established crypto brokers in Europe.
Strengthening the German crypto industry
“Receiving the BaFin license in Germany is a crucial step for Anycoin Direct’s global expansion. Germany, currently the world’s third-largest economy by GDP, is the only EU member state to have introduced comprehensive regulatory guidelines for cryptocurrency platforms. Our BaFin license is not only a regulatory approval, but also our unwavering commitment to the highest standards of financial transactions and trustworthiness,” explains Bram Ceelen, CFO of Anycoin Direct.
Bas Lamers, Managing Director of Anycoin Direct GmbH, underlines the importance of this success: “We are very pleased that we can now also offer our crypto services to business and private customers in Germany. Our tireless efforts and close cooperation with BaFin have led to this prestigious recognition. The approval by BaFin, one of the most respected financial supervisory authorities in Europe, not only underlines our security and reliability, but also confirms the high standards of our internal and external processes. We look forward to offering our German customers a seamless crypto experience characterized by security and close customer loyalty.
