After Deblock and Goin, Caceis can now offer cryptos services in all countries of the European Union.
After Deblock and Goin, Caceis Bank, a subsidiary of Crédit Agricole, becomes the third French player to obtain European Mica approval (pour “Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation”). It is the first French bank to obtain this famous sesame.
The company can now offer three services in all European Union countries: the conservation and administration of crypto-active, reception and transmission of orders (RTO), as well as the transfer of crypto-active.
“By offering our customers the possibility of investing, within the same portfolio, in traditional financial instruments as in crypto-actives, we enrich the proposal for the value of Caceis,” said Laurent Majchrzak, group manager of digital assets in Caceis.
In 2024, Caceis set up a “digital active” business line to work on many projects related to the blockchain. On the one hand, CACEIS prepares with the European Central Bank (ECB) the launch of a digital central bank currency known as “interbank”, which can be used for transactions between banks and financial institutions. On the other hand, CACEIS works on tokénized funds as a cash management and liquidity solution in decentralized finance (DEFI).
Strategy transfer
CACEIS had won the PSAN recording in 2023 (for service provider on digital assets). A strategy transfer seems to have operated in Crédit Agricole, while his former boss, Philippe Brassac, predicted a bitcoin that fell to 0 dollars in April 2025.
Caceis becomes the 44th actor to win Mica approval in Europe. Companies can obtain this license via local European regulators of their choice, which explains certain disparities between countries. Thus, the Netherlands and Germany are the countries which have issued the most approvals (15 and 13 licenses respectively), followed by Malta with 5 licenses. France arrives in fourth position at the elbow with Luxembourg with 3 licenses granted to Cryptos companies.
