Flowdesk Europe Receives Payment Institution Authorization from the ACPR Under PSD2

Flowdesk, a global liquidity provider and digital asset trading and infrastructure provider, announced that its European entity, Flowdesk Europe, has been authorized as a Payment Institution by the French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority, l’Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR), under the second Payment Services Directive (PSD2).

The authorization allows Flowdesk Europe to provide custody and transfer services for e-money tokens (EMTs), the fiat-referenced stablecoins regulated under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, to its clients across the European Union.

The authorization follows the entity’s Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorization received from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) under MiCA at the end of June this year. With both authorizations in place, Flowdesk Europe can now support its EU clients across the trading, custody, and transfer of crypto-assets and EMTs, reflecting the firm’s long-standing commitment to operating within clear and comprehensive regulatory frameworks for digital assets.

“Our clients increasingly use stablecoins to move value, and they expect high regulatory standards across all of their activity,” said Guilhem Chaumont, Co-founder and CEO of Flowdesk. “Adding this authorization to our existing CASP authorization lets us meet that expectation for our EU clients, from execution through to custody and settlement, under one regulated entity. As liquid assets continue to move onchain through stablecoins and other forms of tokenization, institutions need a regulated and compliant counterparty that can support that shift.”

With offices globally including Paris, and Dubai, and over 200 employees, Flowdesk is backed by institutions including BlackRock, Cathay Innovation, and Coinbase Ventures, offering 24/7/365 coverage across more than 150 exchanges globally.
