One Trading Approved Under MiCAR - First EU Venue for Regulated Crypto Spot and Derivatives

press release • May 20, 2025

One Trading Exchange B.V. (One Trading), a leading European trading platform, has officially become the first crypto derivatives trading venue in the European Union to be authorised under both MiFID II and MiCAR, offering trading services to both retail and institutional investors. This milestone follows the grant of a licence by the Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) in the Netherlands for One Trading to be a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) under the EU’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).


The combination of licences sets a new benchmark for Europe’s digital asset industry: for the first time, both institutional and eligible retail clients can trade crypto perpetual futures and spot on a single platform that is fully regulated from end to end. This results in enhanced investor protections, streamlined execution, and a trading experience built for professional-grade market participation.


“Securing licenses under two of the most demanding regulatory regimes in MiFID II and MiCAR is exceptionally rare and technically complex,” said Joshua Barraclough, CEO of One Trading. “It required not just robust infrastructure, but a fully integrated compliance, risk, and governance framework.”


“This isn’t just regulatory box-ticking, it’s the execution of a long-term strategy to build a fully licensed, institutional-grade venue with broad market access. We believe the future of crypto trading in Europe belongs to platforms that are fast, transparent, and regulated, and One Trading is leading that transformation.”


MiFID II Meets MiCAR


One Trading is the first to combine:

  • A MiCAR trading platform authorization 
  • A MiFID II OTF license for crypto derivatives
  • A fully integrated stack for issuance, matching, margin and settlement — removing the need for external clearing.

This structure allows One Trading to:

  • Eliminate external clearing for faster, more capital-efficient execution
  • Enable clients to hedge spot positions against futures positions on the same platform 
  • Support cross-margining of positions with crypto collateral to optimize capital efficiency
  • Protect clients through a regulated risk and operational framework
  • Offer 1-minute settlement of crypto perpetual futures and up to 10x leverage


“MiCAR introduces the first unified crypto framework in Europe, and being able to offer multilateral trading in both crypto-assets and MiFID II instruments onshore is more than rare, it’s transformative,” said Mario Hössl-Neumann, General Counsel at One Trading.


“This combination enables us to launch the trading venue of the future — one that bridges traditional asset classes and crypto-asset markets. We’ve spent years building our platform to the highest technical and regulatory standards because we believe all investors should have access to the best products — onshore, transparent, and on a level playing field. While many other platforms recognize the potential of new product categories such as perpetual futures, they continue to operate through opaque and risky offshore structures, even when serving EU clients. We’re changing that with a scalable, compliant, and open framework that anyone can access directly — or enable EU brokers to offer the best products to their own clients.”


Until now, access to regulated crypto derivatives in Europe has lagged behind global markets. One Trading’s license marks a turning point: for the first time, EU-based clients can trade perpetual futures on a platform that is regulated, capital-efficient, and vertically integrated — without relying on offshore providers or third-party clearing.


What’s Coming


With full regulatory approval secured, One Trading will:

  • Expand access to perpetual futures for eligible retail clients across EU member states
  • Introduce cross margining making, full use of the MiFID II and MiCAR set up
  • Launch new product lines, including equity and index-linked perpetuals


“We’re building the trading infrastructure for a regulated, multi-asset future,” added Barraclough. “This approval proves that there is no need to expose clients to offshore risk. The future of trading can be realized right here — safely, securely, and sustainably.”

While PI Network officially passes 60 million global users, there's another project that's creating hype with a new trend. Angry Pepe Fork ($APORK) has announced its roadmap and deflationary tokenomics model. This marks a direction toward sustainable growth within the oversaturated market for meme coins. Angry Pepe Fork is a viral meme token with a tiered ecosystem. Its mix involves:  Token scarcity Staking rewards in real time, A community-based growth plan through its CommunityFi and GambleFi platforms. It opens the door for a new wave of meme coins based on participation and utility and not speculation. Ecosystem Design: For Scarcity and Utility Angry Pepe Fork has a non-inflationary token supply of 1.9 billion tokens. In fact, launching a token with a fixed supply is a known deflationary move in Web3. A built-in burn mechanism destroys tokens during each game payout on its upcoming GambleFi platform. This dynamic reduces supply in real time, reinforcing value through scarcity. The platform is already distributing rewards during its presale phase. The team promises appealing APY rates for anyone staking tokens, with staking available directly from the presale interface. CommunityFi: Incentivizing Engagement and Growth Angry Pepe Fork’s CommunityFi model also includes a systematic reward mechanism for active contributors. Members get additional $APORK tokens for writing posts, tweeting updates, or promoting word of the project on social channels. This way, this model decentralizes marketing and promotes word-of-mouth adoption, something most meme coins struggle with post their initial launch. A multi-level presale bonus structure incentivizes early participation even more: Bronze Level: 5% reward (from purchases $50+) Silver Tier: 10% (from purchases $150+) Gold Tier: 15% (from purchases $250+) Platinum Level: 20% (from purchases $500+) GambleFi and Roadmap Integration The upcoming GambleFi platform will support gamers wagering $APORK with several on-chain mini games. All game results trigger token burns automatically such that entertainment is coupled with tokenomics. Such a model emulates sustainable models from bigger ecosystems like Binance and Ethereum. The project roadmap outlines: Security audits (formerly carried out by SolidProof) Token release and listing on exchanges GambleFi platform integration Multi-chain bridging to Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana Strategic partnerships with Web3's top brands About Angry Pepe Fork Angry Pepe Fork is a community-driven cryptocurrency project aimed at building long-term sustainability and community interaction. CommunityFi, GambleFi, and deflationary tokenomics are its unique core features differentiating it from hype-based competitors. Angry Pepe Fork presents a fixed supply model, live staking, and user-controlled growth mechanics. The team is rethinking what meme coins can provide in 2025 and beyond. The project’s token follows a clear, predetermined allocation. In fact, 25% of the coins will go to marketing operations, while the presale will get 20% of the funds. Moving on, 15% of the tokens will be locked in a treasury, and the same amount will fund staking rewards. The team will set aside 10% of $APORK for community rewards and another 10% for liquidity. Lastly, the remaining 5% will cover exchange and listing operations. One can learn more about Angry Pepe Fork and its token on its official project website . The price of APORK token is currently $0.0269, with the price set to increase in 3 days. The social pages below are also available for anyone interested in joining this online community.

Thanveer Ummer, CEO of LAXMINT, commented: "This collaboration marks an exciting step forward for LAXMINT.

Additionally, significant focus will be placed on CSR activities specifically benefiting indigenous and tribal communities. This strategic alliance between LAXMINT and FEPOI sets a new standard for international collaboration and sustainable development, leveraging cutting-edge blockchain technology to benefit some of the world's most vibrant and culturally diverse communities.
