Frequently asked questions about Bitunix and MiCA
Is Bitunix licensed under MiCA?
As of the latest snapshot of the ESMA register, Bitunix does not appear as an authorised Crypto-Asset Service Provider in the EEA.
Can Bitunix still serve EEA users after 1 July 2026?
Under MiCA, after 1 July 2026 only authorised CASPs may offer crypto-asset services to EEA residents. A provider without authorisation must either obtain a licence, exit the EEA market, or operate via a separately authorised partner entity.
What should I do with my crypto if my exchange is not licensed?
Three options: (1) wait for the provider to clarify its EU strategy, (2) transfer your assets to an authorised provider, or (3) self-custody using a wallet. Confirm withdrawal functionality and fees before the transition deadline.
Does this mean the exchange is illegal in the EU?
Not necessarily before 1 July 2026, as transitional arrangements vary by member state. After that date, providing services to EEA users without MiCA authorisation breaches EU law.
Where can I see the official register?
