Circle Secures Crucial AMF Approval for Crypto Services in Europe

Circle, a leading provider of cryptocurrency services, has made another key move to solidify its presence in the European market. On April 20, 2026, the company received approval from the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) to provide cryptocurrency services under the MiCA framework.

This approval marks an important milestone for Circle as it seeks to expand its offerings in Europe. The AMF's nod will enable Circle France to offer custody and transfer services for its issued stablecoins, USDC and EURC, within the European Economic Area (EEA).

The development underscores Circle's commitment to regulatory compliance and its role in shaping the digital financial landscape of Europe. According to a statement from Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Global Head of Policy and Operations, this move is 'another important step for Circle' as it seeks to establish trusted digital financial infrastructure across the EU.
