For MEXC users in the EU

Not MiCA-authorised in the EU

Using MEXC in the EU? Here’s what MiCA means for you.

MEXC does not currently hold a MiCA (CASP) licence to operate in the EU, and the Dutch financial regulator has publicly warned that it is offering crypto-asset services without the required authorisation. This page explains what that means and introduces a regulated-custody alternative — the choice is yours.

MEXC and MiCA: the facts

Since 30 December 2024, MiCA has required any crypto-asset service provider serving EU customers to hold a licence — a “CASP” authorisation — from an EU regulator. MEXC does not appear in ESMA’s public register of authorised providers. On 24 September 2025, the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) published a warning stating that MEXC “does not have a license and therefore illegally offers crypto-asset services in the Netherlands,” citing high-risk products and uncertainty over which legal entity and jurisdiction MEXC operates from.

Why CryptoUnity

Assets are held with regulated custodian BitGo.

Your crypto is held by BitGo, not by CryptoUnity.

Built for first-timers

Plain-language workshops and a calm, no-hype tone. No charts-and-candles pressure.

A dedicated EU team

Real people and human support, not a faceless global platform.

Two ways to bring your crypto over

Move your coins straight across, or take euros out and start fresh. Both are simple, so pick what suits you.

Pick the right network. This matters most.

If you move crypto on-chain rather than withdrawing to euros, the network you pick must match your CryptoUnity deposit address exactly. Always send a small test amount first — sending on the wrong network can mean your funds are lost for good.

Move your crypto directly

No deposit fee · keep your coins

Bring your coins straight over, no need to sell first. We don’t charge a deposit fee (only the blockchain’s own network fee applies).

  1. 1

    Get your deposit address

    In CryptoUnity, open the coin you want to receive and copy your address. Note which network it’s on.

  2. 2

    Send from your exchange

    Choose Withdraw / Send crypto, paste your CryptoUnity address, then select the matching network.

  3. 3

    Send a small test first

    Always send a tiny test amount first. Once it arrives, send the rest. A wrong network or address can mean lost funds.

  4. 4

    Done, nothing to pay us

    It lands in your CryptoUnity wallet. We don’t charge to receive it; only the network’s fee applies.

Moving crypto isn’t a sale, so you generally don’t realise a taxable gain the way selling to euros can. Still, check your local tax rules.

Or: sell to EUR and buy again

Simplest

Prefer to start clean? Take euros out, then fund CryptoUnity by bank transfer (SEPA).

  1. 1

    Withdraw to euros

    On your exchange, sell to euros and withdraw to your bank.

  2. 2

    Download CryptoUnity

    Get the app, then verify once. About 5–10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Fund by SEPA

    Add euros from your bank, usually same-day in the EU.

  4. 4

    Start, guided

    Make a small first buy. You’ll start with 0% trading fees for 30 days.

Always send a small test transfer first and double-check the network. A wrong network or address can mean lost funds.

Common questions

Does MEXC hold a MiCA licence in the EU? +
No — MEXC does not appear in ESMA’s register of authorised crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), the licence MiCA requires to serve EU customers.
Has a regulator warned about MEXC? +
Yes. On 24 September 2025, the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) publicly warned that MEXC “does not have a license and therefore illegally offers crypto-asset services in the Netherlands,” pointing to high-risk products and uncertainty about which legal entity and jurisdiction MEXC operates from. Cyprus’s CySEC issued a similar warning around November 2025.
Is MEXC closing or leaving the EU? +
No — there is no announcement that MEXC is closing or exiting the EU. This page is informational: it explains MEXC’s current EU licensing status and a regulated-custody alternative; it is not a claim that MEXC is shutting down.
Can I still use MEXC? +
That’s your decision to make. What we can tell you, from public regulator statements, is that MEXC does not currently hold the EU licence that MiCA requires. Other platforms — including CryptoUnity — offer a regulated-custody route if you’d rather use one.
Can I move my crypto into CryptoUnity? +
Yes — you can transfer your coins straight into CryptoUnity with no deposit fee from us (only the blockchain’s network fee applies). Always send a small test transfer first and match the network.
Is CryptoUnity regulated? +
CryptoUnity is a beginner-friendly app, not a licensed exchange itself. Regulated custody and execution are provided by BitGo, a regulated institutional custodian — so your crypto’s safety doesn’t rest on CryptoUnity holding a licence.
