About STOKR
STOKR is an institutional asset-tokenization platform rather than a consumer crypto exchange. It is operated by STOKR S.A., a Luxembourg public limited company (société anonyme). The platform lets issuers tokenize real-world and financial assets and lets investors hold the resulting digital securities, with STOKR's own materials describing end-to-end tokenization covering investment structuring, smart-contract deployment, AML/KYC and fiat and crypto payments. According to research, STOKR is registered with the Luxembourg CSSF as a virtual asset service provider and is also registered with the French ACPR. Sources: stokr.io, STOKR ACPR registration
STOKR's focus is digital securities and tokenized real-world assets - research indicates coverage across categories such as equities, bonds, funds, private credit and infrastructure, issued under EU capital-markets law and settled on Bitcoin-linked infrastructure (the Liquid network). It is not a retail spot-trading venue for cryptocurrencies and, per the research, does not offer crypto-to-crypto spot trading, retail private-key custody, crypto savings, staking or crypto cards. STOKR states it supports fiat payments in EUR, including SEPA, as part of its tokenization workflow. Sources: STOKR asset tokenization, stokr.io
On the regulatory question: under MiCA, the contracting legal entity is STOKR S.A., and its competent national authority is the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) in Luxembourg. According to the ESMA register data used here, STOKR's MiCA authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider covers the custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients and the transfer services for crypto-assets on behalf of clients. The authorisation does not, on this data, extend to other MiCA services such as operating a trading platform, exchange of crypto-assets for funds or other crypto-assets, order execution, placing, reception and transmission of orders, advice or portfolio management. STOKR's registration as a CSSF virtual asset service provider is an AML/CFT supervision status and is separate from its MiCA service authorisation. Source: STOKR legal
Which crypto services is STOKR authorised to offer in the EU?

-
Providing custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients
The exchange holds your crypto in its own wallets. Authorisation here means MiCA's segregation and insurance rules apply: client crypto-assets must be ring-fenced from the exchange's own funds.
-
Providing transfer services for crypto-assets on behalf of clients
The exchange can move crypto between addresses on your behalf, including off-platform withdrawals. The Travel Rule applies to these transfers.
Which services is STOKR not authorised to offer?
STOKR's MiCA licence does not cover: Trading platform, Exchange for funds, Exchange for crypto, Order execution, Placing, Order R&T, Advice, Portfolio mgmt. These services may still be offered by other authorised providers, or by STOKR under a different regulatory framework (for example, derivatives may fall under MiFID II rather than MiCA).

What does this mean for users of STOKR in the EU?
If you transact through STOKR's EEA-authorised entity (STOKR S.A.), 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 STOKR's terms of service that your contracting entity is STOKR S.A., not a non-EEA affiliate.

Frequently asked questions about STOKR and MiCA
Is STOKR licensed under MiCA?
Yes. STOKR appears in the ESMA Register of MiCA-Authorised Crypto-Asset Service Providers, with its authorisation issued by the competent authority of Luxembourg.
Which EU countries can STOKR serve under this licence?
A MiCA authorisation in one EEA member state permits passporting across all EEA member states, subject to a notification process to each host-state regulator.

MiCA introduces ring-fencing of client crypto-assets, prudential capital requirements for the authorised entity, complaint-handling obligations, and conduct rules. It does not provide a deposit-guarantee scheme equivalent to bank deposit insurance.
What's the difference between the authorised entity and the global brand?
Some global exchanges operate multiple legal entities. The MiCA authorisation applies only to the specific legal entity in the ESMA register, not to the global brand. Verify the contracting entity in STOKR's terms of service.
