Jurisdictions: BCB Group is taking a considered approach

Our Managing Director, BCB Europe, Jerome Prigent, was interviewed in the launch issue of Capital Pioneer, covering BCB Group’s considered approach to regulation:

Jerome explains that BCB Group already holds full CASP (Crypto Assets Service Provider) status with France’s regulator, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) and in doing so, the company has laid the groundwork for meeting the terms of the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation.

He says BCB knew that working to obtain a regulatory licence in France was going to be the more demanding option, due to scrutiny of compliance, provision of finance forecasts and the forensic detail with which assessors evaluate an application. Despite this, he believes that is the best approach for the business as the digital assets market starts to broaden.

“It’s all about trust,” he says. “If you do secure licenced status in France, you can be sure that it will help you attract new customers. In 2025, trust is the first word on my lips.”
