CoinEx Will Discontinue Services in the European Economic Area
Crypto exchange CoinEx announced it will discontinue all services for users in the European Economic Area on or before July 1, 2026, citing the full enforcement of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
CoinEx, the global cryptocurrency exchange, has announced it will cease providing services to users within the European Economic Area (EEA) by July 1, 2026, in response to the full enforcement of the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
The move affects all 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Affected countries include Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
New user registration from the EEA has already been suspended. However, existing users can still withdraw their crypto assets at any time, as withdrawal services remain unaffected. CoinEx emphasized that its platform continues to operate normally and all user assets remain safeguarded.
The decision follows the full implementation of MiCA, the EU's comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto assets, which came into force across the bloc. CoinEx cited the new regulation as the direct reason for the service discontinuation.
CoinEx apologized to affected users for any inconvenience and thanked them for their trust and support. The exchange did not announce any plans for re-entry into the EEA under a MiCA-compliant structure.
