BitGo Europe has announced a partnership with Warsaw-based Bielik.io to deliver regulated crypto services across the European Economic Area. The move comes as the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation deadline approaches on July 1, 2026. Smaller platforms may use such arrangements to maintain user access while complying with new rules.
BitGo Europe GmbH and Bielik.io have integrated BitGo's Crypto-as-a-Service infrastructure. Eligible users of the Bielik.io app will gain access to deposits, trading, and custody through the licensed provider.
ESMA has stated that the MiCA transitional period ends on July 1, 2026. After that date, entities without a MiCA license must stop offering crypto-asset services to EU clients.
The partnership allows Bielik.io to keep its customer-facing brand while shifting regulated functions such as custody and onboarding to BitGo Europe. France's AMF lists BitGo Europe as a Germany-licensed MiCA CASP authorized for services including custody, exchange, and transfers.
Poland faces particular pressure because its national crypto-assets market act has not entered into force. National registrations will no longer authorize activity after the deadline, according to official notices.
