Decubate Becomes First MiCAR-Compliant Launchpad in Europe
Zoetermeer, Netherlands, August 8th, 2025, Chainwire
Regulated Token Launch Framework Introduced for European Market
Decubate, a crypto accelerator with a portfolio of over 200 projects, has announced that it has obtained full MiCAR compliance from the Dutch Authority for Financial Markets (AFM). This development positions the platform as the first launchpad in Europe operating under the newly implemented Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).
Historically, early-stage token participation in Europe has presented challenges for both investors and project teams, often involving limited regulatory clarity and fragmented legal landscapes across EU member states. Decubate’s regulatory approval introduces a framework intended to bring legal certainty to these activities within the European Economic Area (EEA).
According to Decubate, the platform’s compliance enables European-based users to participate in token launches under a regulated structure, aligning investor protections more closely with those present in traditional financial markets. For project teams, the compliance status may simplify access to European capital by reducing jurisdictional complexity and supporting institutional standards for due diligence.
The company states that projects launching through the platform will be subject to regulatory standards, including transparency regarding team identities, tokenomics, and legal structuring. Decubate’s user base of over 35,000 verified participants is expected to operate under this new oversight framework, which includes investor safeguards aligned with broader EU financial market norms.
“This achievement represents the culmination of nearly two years of dedicated compliance work,” said Elliot Hagemeijer, CEO at Decubate. “We’ve built our entire infrastructure with MiCAR requirements in mind from day one. What we’re seeing now is the emergence of a new standard for how token launches can operate with full regulatory backing across Europe.”
While several crypto exchanges, including Coinbase and Bitpanda, have obtained MiCAR licenses for trading operations, Decubate is among the first to secure compliance specifically for token launch activities. The development introduces a regulated model for crypto fundraising within the EU, potentially shaping how early-stage digital asset projects engage with the European investor base.
