- WHITE TECH, part of the W Group, has become the first company in Croatia to receive regulatory approval from the national financial watchdog, HANFA, to operate under the EU’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.
- The license authorizes the firm to provide a full suite of regulated crypto services in the country, including crypto-to-fiat exchanges, asset transfers, and custody solutions.
- This milestone places WHITE TECH among the pioneering companies operating under the EU’s unified crypto regulatory system, which aims to standardize rules and boost market confidence across the bloc.
The W Group‘s infrastructure arm, WHITE TECH, has secured a landmark regulatory approval from Croatia’s Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA), authorizing its operations under the upcoming EU-wide MiCA regulations. This makes it the first company in the country to be licensed under the new framework, according to the official announcement. Consequently, the firm can now offer a comprehensive range of regulated digital asset services to the Croatian market.
The authorization enables WHITE TECH to legally provide crypto exchange, transfer, and custody services while being supervised by HANFA. Meanwhile, the company must adhere to strict MiCA standards for governance, risk management, and consumer protection. This regulatory milestone is a significant step for the broader W Group ecosystem, which includes the major European exchange WhiteBIT.
