Coinmotion, K33, The Mint and TÝR Markets have joined as partners in State of ETFs and Digital Assets in the Nordics. All four are MiCA-regulated.
MiCA — the EU's regulatory framework for crypto-assets — requires authorisation for all crypto operators across the EU/EEA. The partners behind State of ETFs and Digital Assets in the Nordics represent different parts of the regulated market: three crypto exchanges and brokers, and one token issuer. What they share is that regulation is a prerequisite — not an obstacle.
"We are very pleased to have Coinmotion, K33, The Mint and TÝR Markets as partners. They represent the breadth of the regulated digital asset market in the Nordics — and they are here because they see what we see: that the regulated market is in motion." — Morten Myrstad, founder and editor, Kaupr
The Finnish crypto exchange Coinmotion received its MiCA licence in July 2025, passported it to Sweden in August and officially entered the Swedish market the same month. Coinmotion Sverige was among the first crypto exchanges in the Nordics to enter a season partnership with Kaupr TV, and its participation in this event is a natural extension of that collaboration.
"We see ETPs and regulated exchanges as allies in driving broader crypto adoption. Events like this bring the ecosystem together — and that is exactly where we want to be," says Christer Ekman, Country Manager for Coinmotion in Sweden.
K33 is one of the leading digital asset companies in the Nordics, with a clear focus on the institutional market. The company offers personal client contact and access to K33 Research, an internationally recognised analysis unit covering the development of the entire digital asset industry. As regulated exchanges like K33 expand their institutional offering across Europe, institutional investors and corporates gain broader access to digital assets — alongside the regulated ETPs and ETFs that this event is built around.
"Institutional investors are increasingly looking for regulated access to digital assets. Events like this bring the full picture together — and that is exactly where K33 wants to be," says Torbjørn Bull Jenssen, CEO of K33.
The Mint is a Norwegian company issuing Europe's first MiCA-registered Asset-Referenced Token (ART) — the Greenland Reserve Coin (GNRC), backed by audited Greenlandic rubies and sapphires held in independent vaulted custody. The connection to an ETF and ETP event is closer than it may seem: ETFs, ETPs and MiCA-regulated ARTs are different legal structures, but they share a common purpose — providing regulated exposure to underlying assets.
"Regulation is what makes new asset classes credible. Whether you are packaging exposure to Bitcoin, commodities or Greenlandic rubies, the framework around it is what builds investor trust. That is why we wanted to be part of this event," says Dag Tore Aam, CEO of The Mint.
TÝR Markets is the first crypto brokerage in Norway to receive full MiCA authorisation, granted by the Norwegian FSA in May 2026. The company has grown rapidly since launch and now counts itself among the largest crypto platforms in Norway. While much of today's crypto trading in Norway is characterised by local liquidity pools, TÝR Markets has built its infrastructure against international markets and global liquidity — offering clients, according to the company, more competitive pricing and tighter spreads.
"TÝR Markets attracts clients looking for global liquidity, low transaction costs and a clear regulatory anchor in Norway. Our ambition is not only to take market share, but to help grow the Norwegian digital asset market through better execution," says Filip Berg-Nielsen, founder and CEO of TÝR Markets.
