Perpetual Markets MTF Secures MiCA Authorization in Cyprus, Expanding Its Regulated European Trading Venue Into Crypto

• The authorization enables the operation of a regulated crypto-asset trading platform to provide clients with custody, trading, order execution, and transfer services
• Through MiCA’s cross-border framework, Perpetual Markets MTF can now offer these services to clients throughout the EU

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perpetuals.com Ltd (Nasdaq: PDC) today announced that Perpetual Markets MTF (PM MTF LTD., Cyprus), which runs on Perpetuals' technology, has received approval from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) to offer crypto-asset services under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).

The authorization enables the operation of a trading platform for crypto-assets that can provide clients with crypto-asset custody and administration, order execution, order reception and transmission, and crypto-asset transfer services. It builds on Perpetuals’ existing MiFID II-regulated MTF platform, allowing Perpetuals to broaden the range of asset classes available through its regulated European venue while providing a route to offer these services to clients across the EU through MiCA’s cross-border notification framework.

This milestone marks an expansion into digital assets, allowing the company to build its crypto-asset offering alongside its existing trading capabilities. At a time when parts of the industry have been forced to scale back their European ambitions, Perpetuals has turned the company’s regulatory expertise and adherence into a competitive edge. The same infrastructure now lets other firms offer regulated EU services through Perpetual Markets MTF.

“Securing this authorization is an important milestone because it gives us the regulatory green light to build and expand our crypto-asset offering in Europe,” said Patrick Gruhn, CEO of Perpetuals. “It also positions Perpetuals as a white-label provider, giving brokers and institutions a regulated route into European crypto through our infrastructure rather than their own.”
