NBX Granted MiCA Licence – Gains Access to the Entire European Economic Area

Lysaker, Norway – 30 June 2026

Norwegian Block Exchange AS ("NBX") has been granted authorisation as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Finanstilsynet) under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).

The authorisation enables NBX to offer regulated crypto-asset services across the EEA under a single regulatory framework, and opens for cross-border services in a single regulated market of approximately 450 million people across 30 EEA countries.

The licence covers the following crypto-asset services:

- Custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients - Operation of a trading platform for crypto-assets - Exchange of crypto-assets for funds - Exchange of crypto-assets for other crypto-assets - Execution of orders on behalf of clients - Reception and transmission of orders on behalf of clients - Transfer services for crypto-assets on behalf of clients

Through the application process, Finanstilsynet has assessed NBX’s business against the requirements under MiCA. The authorisation confirms that the company meets the requirements for authorisation under MiCA, including requirements relating to governance, risk management, internal control, security and operational resilience.

"This is an important day for NBX. The MiCA licence enables us to offer our services across the EEA under a single regulatory framework and marks the beginning of the next phase in the company’s development. At the same time, the authorisation confirms that our organisation, technology and governance framework meet the standards expected by European authorities from a regulated provider," said Stig Aleksander Kjos-Mathisen, Chief Executive Officer of NBX.

NBX believes that a clear and harmonised regulatory framework is essential for increasing trust in digital assets and for further adoption among both retail and institutional customers. The company will continue developing its regulated service offering, including trading services, custody services and issuance of e-money tokens.

The MiCA licence strengthens NBX’s position as a regulated digital asset provider in the Nordic region and supports the company’s long-term strategy of combining innovation with high standards for customer protection, operational resilience and regulatory compliance.
