Digital asset wealth platform Nexo has officially solidified its compliance strategy for the European market. The company just announced its sustained operations across the European Economic Area under the new Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation. Rather than scrambling to build all new infrastructure internally, Nexo has adopted a localized setup. The platform is relying on two licensed partners to provide deep technical support and operational maturity to its vast client base.
The European Union’s regulatory framework, widely known as MiCA, is forcing major shifts across the crypto industry. It introduces uniform standards across the continent for consumer protection, capital requirements, and asset custody. To navigate this complex landscape smoothly, Nexo decided to split its custody and brokerage operations between two highly specialized and regulated firms.
Tangany is stepping in to provide institutional-grade custody infrastructure. Based in Munich and fully regulated by Germany’s BaFin, Tangany already holds a coveted MiCA license. The firm oversees more than 3 billion euros in digital assets for over 60 institutional clients. Its API-first platform directly handles transaction settlements, identity verification, and secure staking while seamlessly integrating into existing risk management stacks.
Meanwhile, DLT Finance is taking over the brokerage side. Operating under the umbrella of DLT Securities GmbH, the company is authorized under both MiCA and the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive. DLT Finance provides a modular technology platform that supports the complete lifecycle of customer-facing digital asset trading. Their crypto API empowers financial institutions to launch scalable trading products that meet the absolute highest regulatory standards.
Yasen Yankov is the Chief Product Officer at Nexo. He made it clear that the company views this new regulatory era as a massive opportunity rather than a hurdle.
“MiCAR is the most consequential regulatory framework digital assets have seen in Europe, and Nexo has been preparing for a long time,” Yankov explained. He noted that selecting Tangany and DLT Finance was a meticulous process because the company demanded partners who were rigorously regulated and technically sophisticated. According to Yankov, Europe remains central to Nexo’s global strategy. All client services are continuing without any disruptions following a robust testing phase.
The leadership at both partner firms echoed this positive sentiment. Martin Kreitmair, the CEO of Tangany, highlighted that this partnership sets a blueprint for how institutions can successfully navigate the European market. He emphasized that combining the right partners with secure custody infrastructure sends a strong signal about the future of digital assets in the region.
Alan Kennedy, Senior Partnerships Manager at DLT Finance, pointed out that the strongest digital platforms rely on infrastructure that simply works invisibly in the background. His team is focused on delivering the execution capabilities required to provide a flawless user experience across multiple products.
Nexo ranks among the top three largest centralized crypto lenders globally as of the third quarter of 2025. Since its launch in 2018, the platform has processed over $430 billion in transactions. It currently manages more than $7 billion in client assets across 199 jurisdictions. The company offers a wide range of services. These include high-yield flexible savings, crypto-backed loans, and a pioneering crypto debit and credit card. By anchoring its European operations with specialized, licensed infrastructure, Nexo is clearly positioning itself to dominate the digital wealth sector as the MiCA era officially begins.
