Zodia Custody, an institution-first crypto asset platform with shareholders and investors, has announced that it has been granted a Payment Institution licence by Luxembourg's Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF).
This new regulatory authorisation enables Zodia Custody to extend its core crypto-asset custody service offering to stablecoins.
The firm says that this marks a key developmental milestone, complementing Zodia Custody's existing Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) licence and enabling seamless, regulated custody, and transfer functions for stablecoins across the European Union.
The combined MiCA (granted in December 2025) and Payment Institution license authorisation strengthens Zodia Custody's position as a core infrastructure provider for institutional digital finance, the firm adds.
Ami Nagata, managing director, Luxembourg, at Zodia Custody Europe, says: “Institutional adoption of crypto assets demands infrastructure that meets the highest standards of regulatory adherence and operational efficiency.
“Securing Payment Institution licence alongside our MiCA CASP authorisation is a critical step in bridging our capabilities across crypto asset safekeeping.
“With both licenses in place, our clients have the certainty they need to manage their electric money tokens and crypto asset strategies across Europe, with full confidence that their assets are safeguarded within a bank-grade environment.”
