WHITE TECH Becomes One of Croatia’s First MiCA-Authorized Crypto Firms

WHITE TECH becomes one of Croatia’s first MiCA-authorized crypto firms WHITE TECH has been authorized by Croatia’s Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA) to operate as a crypto-asset service provider under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, making it one of the first Croatian firms to enter the bloc’s unified regulatory system. Part of the W Group ecosystem and majority-owned by Volodymyr Nosov — founder and CEO of exchange WhiteBIT — WHITE TECH is cleared to offer a range of regulated crypto services to both businesses and retail users. The company’s approved activities include exchange services, fiat-to-crypto conversion, custody and administration of crypto assets, and crypto-asset transfers. Under MiCA, WHITE TECH must comply with EU-wide rules on corporate governance, risk controls and customer protection, aligning it with the single rulebook designed to raise transparency and oversight across member states. Authorization under MiCA also positions the company to operate under the EU regime at an early stage, potentially smoothing cross-border service provision within the bloc. Croatia has already begun issuing MiCA licenses — Electrocoin was approved by HANFA in April as the first company registered under the country’s crypto licensing process — and WHITE TECH’s approval signals growing regulatory momentum as firms adapt to the new European standards. MiCA establishes common requirements for authorization, supervision, transparency and consumer safeguards for crypto-asset service providers across EU member states, aiming to bring greater legal clarity and investor protection to the sector. WHITE TECH’s entry into this framework represents an early compliance milestone for the Croatian crypto industry. Read more AI-generated news on: undefined/news
