Amsterdam, 2024-02-12 — MoonPay, a leading global provider of cryptocurrency payment solutions, is proud to announce its membership with VBNL.org, a key organisation representing digital asset service providers in the Netherlands. This step underscores MoonPay’s ongoing commitment to supporting the growth and development of the European crypto and blockchain ecosystem.
MoonPay has maintained a strong technical base in the Netherlands for many years. The proactive and forward-thinking stance of the Dutch financial regulator, the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM), has played a pivotal role in creating a favorable environment for cryptocurrency service providers. As a result, MoonPay became one of the first CASPs (Crypto Asset Service Providers) to receive a MiCAR (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) license.
"Joining VBNL.org is a significant step for MoonPay as we continue to invest in the European market and collaborate with industry partners to advance secure and innovative crypto solutions," said Eoin Keans, Head of Compliance with MoonPay. "The AFM’s leadership in fostering a transparent and regulatory-compliant crypto landscape is instrumental in enabling our growth and operations in the EU."
As a member of VBNL.org, MoonPay looks forward to contributing to important discussions surrounding industry best practices, regulatory developments, and the continued evolution of the digital asset ecosystem in the Netherlands and beyond.
