Nexo’s EU Services Remain Active via MiCA-Licensed Partners: Reported Arrangement Not Officially Confirmed

According to crypto.news, Nexo has stated its European Economic Area (EEA) services continue to operate through MiCA-licensed partners Tangany and DLT Finance, with lending and rewards products remaining outside these authorisations. This arrangement, as reported, is not officially confirmed and relies on regulated German partners for custody and brokerage. The report highlights the division of regulated and unregulated services, the impact of MiCA’s transition deadline, and the potential for similar partner-led models in Europe. Customers are advised to verify the legal entities and terms governing each product, as protections may differ.
