What the public record shows.
The honest way to answer “is this provider still available” is to point at what an authority or the firm itself has actually published — not to guess. For Bitvavo, the home-market case is unusually clean: a Dutch firm, licensed by its own national competent authority, in the member state where it was founded.
Bitvavo announced on 27 June 2025 that Bitvavo B.V. (Amsterdam; Dutch Chamber of Commerce no. 68743424) had obtained a MiCAR licence from the Netherlands’ Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM). Bitvavo’s own site states it is “authorized as a crypto-asset service provider under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA) by the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM).”
A MiCA CASP authorisation can be passported across the EU/EEA. Bitvavo describes the AFM licence as enabling it to offer its services across all EU member states, as well as Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein — replacing the patchwork of national registrations it previously held (including France, Austria, Italy and Spain, alongside the Netherlands).
Cross-register confirmation exists beyond Bitvavo’s own announcement: Bitvavo B.V. appears on France’s AMF white list of CASPs, and the authoritative, EU-wide record is the ESMA register of authorised CASPs — the cross-check that an authorisation is recorded by a competent authority, not only asserted in a press release.
Bitvavo announced its AFM MiCAR licence for Bitvavo B.V. on 27 June 2025, describing coverage across the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. A MiCA authorisation is passportable across the EU/EEA. Always confirm the current, authoritative entry on the ESMA register.
So can you still use it — and what could still change?
Holding an authorisation is the thing that lets a provider keep serving EU clients after the deadline. But “the firm is authorised” is not the same as “every product is available to you, everywhere, unchanged.” Three things still vary even for an authorised provider.
| What can still vary | Why |
|---|---|
| Which assets are offered | Stablecoins (e-money tokens) are governed by their own MiCA rules; individual tokens can be delisted independently of the provider’s overall authorisation — Bitvavo itself publishes rolling delisting notices on its news page. |
| Which country / entity serves you | EU users are commonly served by the authorised EU entity. Your terms, login flow, or available features can change with that arrangement. |
| Which specific services | A MiCA authorisation covers a defined set of services. Anything outside that set (or outside MiCA, such as certain earn or staking products) follows its own rules. |
This is general information, not legal, financial, or investment advice, and not a determination of any firm’s authorisation status. For your situation, read the provider’s own current service notices and confirm the authorised entity on the ESMA register.
How to verify any provider’s status yourself.
The same three-step check works for any exchange or wallet, not just Bitvavo — and it is the only reliable way to answer “is X still available” for your own account.
Look up the provider’s legal entity on ESMA’s register of authorised CASPs (and the relevant national competent authority’s register, here the Netherlands’ AFM). If the entity that serves you is listed, that is the authoritative confirmation.
A brand can operate several legal entities. Confirm the specific entity named in your account terms — for Bitvavo’s EU users, Bitvavo B.V. (KvK 68743424) — is the one that holds the authorisation.
Authorised providers publish migration, delisting, and country-availability notices. These tell you what changes for your assets and country, which the register alone does not.
If you market a crypto service into the EU, this cuts the other way.
The flip side of users asking “is this provider authorised” is that every authorised provider’s marketing is now held to the MiCA standard. Under Article 88, every customer-facing message must be clear, fair, and not misleading — and claims about your own authorisation, available markets, or supported assets are exactly the kind of statement that has to be accurate.

This page is general, educational information for EU users and marketing teams, not legal, financial, or investment advice, and not a determination of any firm’s authorisation status or any authority’s intentions. The facts stated — Bitvavo’s 27 June 2025 announcement of its AFM MiCAR licence for Bitvavo B.V., its own published authorisation statement, and MiCA passporting — are drawn from public announcements and registers at a point in time and can change. There is no “guaranteed” availability; confirm the current entry on the ESMA register of authorised CASPs, read the provider’s own service notices, and consult qualified counsel for your situation.
