The new license marks AMINA EU’s official entry into the European Union market. The company will offer crypto trading, custody, portfolio management, and staking services, primarily aimed at family offices, institutional investors, and financial institutions.
AMINA, which previously operated under the name SEBA Bank, currently holds a banking license from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), as well as crypto licenses in Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi. The bank collaborates with private banks such as Julius Baer and LGT Bank.
“We offer everything from banking to crypto lending in a fully regulated environment. We entered the tokenization space early, and our gold-backed token product is generating significant interest,” said CEO Franz Bergmueller.
AMINA chose Austria as its European headquarters because of the country’s regulatory quality and its emphasis on investor protection.
The MiCA framework is expected to lead to a more mature and transparent crypto markets across Europe. Bergmueller praised the progress in the region, saying, “I was positively surprised that Europe has agreed on a common crypto regulation.”
