KuCoin’s European unit has received a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation license in Austria. The license was granted to KuCoin EU Exchange GmbH and allows the company to offer regulated crypto services across 29 countries in the European Economic Area. Malta is excluded.

The license requires compliance with MiCA rules, which set a single standard for crypto firms across the bloc and mandate a Crypto-Asset Service Provider license for companies offering exchanges, custodial wallets, advice, and other related services.

Legal Basis and Expansion

The license gives KuCoin a legal basis to operate under the EU’s unified crypto framework. MiCA sets common rules for digital asset firms across the bloc. The company noted that the approval supports its broader compliance expansion.

  • South Korea to Tighten Crypto Travel Rule Below $680, Block “High Risk” Offshore Exchanges
  • Hedge Funds, Family Offices Access Bespoke Crypto Services with Binance Prestige
  • Kraken Links MiCA Approval to Early UK and EU Launch of the Krak Card

The firm added that the approval follows its recent registration with AUSTRAC in Australia. It also pointed to expanded compliance systems in several major markets.

BC Wong, KuCoin’s chief executive, called the license a “defining milestone” in its compliance plans. He added that MiCA represents “one of the highest regulatory standards worldwide.”

User Transition in the EEA

The company also referenced its security certifications and ongoing proof-of-reserves audits as part of its risk controls.

KuCoin stated that users in the EEA, except Malta, will be served through the EU platform. It added that new registrations on the global platform will no longer be available for EEA users. Further updates will be shared through official announcements.

Coinbase, Bybit, and Other Exchanges Secure MiCA Approval

Other crypto exchanges have also obtained MiCA licenses to operate across the European Economic Area. Kraken launched services in all 30 EEA countries under its license, while Coinbase and Bybit hold full approvals. Crypto.com has received an in-principle license.

Kraken’s entity is authorized by the Central Bank of Ireland, allowing it to serve EEA clients directly under the unified MiCA framework.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
