Capital.com appears to have obtained a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) licence from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), according to an entry in the regulatory registry. Alongside it, eToro, Revolut and two other firms have obtained the pan-European crypto licence from the Cypriot regulator.
Two Entities, but One Brand?
The licence has been granted to an entity named Capital Vault Ltd, which shares the same office building as Capital.com’s Cyprus entity, but on a different floor. The MiCA-licensed company has Capital.com listed as its approved domain.
The MiCA licence was awarded on 1 December 2025.
FinanceMagnates.com earlier reported Capital.com’s possible plans to launch spot cryptocurrency products and services. The broker was hiring a “Head of Technology/Tech Lead – Digital Assets”, whose responsibility would be “to lead engineering across our digital assets product suite”.
Although the broker did not directly confirm its crypto plans at the time, it said: “As part of our long-term strategy, we continue to invest in scalable infrastructure and emerging technologies, including blockchain, to future-proof our platform and respond to evolving client needs.”

Is Expanding into Crypto Becoming the Norm?
Capital.com currently offers crypto contracts for difference (CFD) instruments to its customers in other jurisdictions where retail traders can trade these products. Under the MiCA licence, it can now offer spot crypto products and other related services across Europe.
FinanceMagnates.com approached Capital.com to learn about its plans for the MiCA licence, but did not receive a reply as of press time.
Meanwhile, Capital.com is on an aggressive expansion drive globally. It recently obtained a local licence in Kenya and appointed a local CEO. It is also seeking licences in Japan, South Africa and Turkey, and is hiring CEOs for its operations in Brazil and Chile, signalling expansion into those countries as well.
The broker has also opened a new office in the capital city of Bulgaria, making it its customer service hub, and plans to invest up to €5 million to improve its operational infrastructure.
