Is a MiCA license the same as a CASP license?

Yes. They are two names for the same authorisation. “CASP” (crypto-asset service provider) is the licence type defined by the EU's MiCA regulation, so “XTB MiCA license”, “XTB MiCA licence”, “XTB CASP license” and “XTB EU license” all mean the same thing. XTB holds this authorisation through XTB Limited.

Who regulates XTB in the EU?

XTB's EU entity, XTB Limited, is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), its home-state competent authority under MiCA.

Which EU country licensed XTB under MiCA?

Is XTB EU the same company as XTB globally?

Not exactly. In the EU/EEA, XTB operates through a separate, MiCA-licensed legal entity, XTB Limited, authorised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). This EU entity is a different company from XTB's global platform and must follow MiCA's rules, which can mean different terms, leverage limits or product availability than XTB's international site. If you are an EU/EEA resident, using the XTB Limited entity is what gives you MiCA-regulated protections.
