About KRIPTOMAT
KRIPTOMAT, as presented at kriptomat.hr, is a network of physical crypto-asset machines ('Kriptomat' kiosks) in Croatia that let customers buy and sell cryptocurrencies for cash. The site lists machine locations across cities including Zagreb, Varazdin, Split, Rijeka, Pula, Porec, Osijek, Karlovac and Slavonski Brod, and presents the service as a fast, in-person way to exchange crypto-assets. This is a retail, consumer-facing exchange service rather than a bank, custodian, broker or asset manager. Source: kriptomat.hr
The operator states that its kiosks support buying Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), USDT (ERC20 and TRC20), Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP), Tron (TRX), Dogecoin (DOGE), Binance Coin (BNB) and USD Coin (USDC), with selling available for BTC, LTC, ETH, USDT and USDC. Transactions are denominated in euro: the site lists a limit of EUR 995 per 30 days for unregistered users and up to EUR 9,995 per day for registered users, with registration requiring an ID document, a selfie and a short verification step. The site does not advertise custody wallets, staking, savings or card products as part of this offering. Source: kriptomat.hr

It does not, on this record, extend to other MiCA services such as custody and administration of crypto-assets, operation of a trading platform, transfer services, portfolio management, advice, or placing of crypto-assets.

What does this mean for users of KRIPTOMAT in the EU?
If you transact through KRIPTOMAT's EEA-authorised entity (Bitblock Ltd. for Services), the protections introduced by MiCA apply to your relationship from onwards. In practical terms this means: client crypto-assets are ring-fenced from the exchange's own funds (Article 70 MiCA), the authorised entity holds prudential capital, has formal complaint-handling procedures, and is subject to transparency obligations on fees and order execution. Source: Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
One thing to verify yourself: the legal entity you contract with day-to-day must match the entity in the ESMA register. Some global exchanges operate multiple legal entities under one brand. Confirm in KRIPTOMAT's terms of service that your contracting entity is Bitblock Ltd. for Services, not a non-EEA affiliate.
