The post Ripple News Today: Full EU EMI License Granted by Luxembourg Regulator appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Ripple has received full approval for an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license in the European Union, following authorization from Luxembourg’s financial regulator, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF).
The approval comes after Ripple met all regulatory conditions set by the CSSF. The company had announced preliminary clearance for the license last month, with full approval now allowing it to operate as an EMI across the EU.
With the license in place, Ripple can formally expand its payments-related services across European markets under EU regulatory rules. The move strengthens the company’s ability to work with banks, payment providers, and other financial institutions that require regulated electronic money services.
Ripple’s Europe-focused leadership said the authorization reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to the region and positions it to support businesses moving toward digital and blockchain-based payment infrastructure within a regulated framework.
The Luxembourg approval adds to Ripple’s growing list of regulatory clearances globally. In January, the company also secured an EMI license and cryptoasset registration from the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom.
According to Ripple, it now holds more than 75 regulatory licenses worldwide, reflecting its focus on operating within established regulatory systems as digital asset adoption grows. The expanded licensing footprint is expected to support Ripple’s efforts to offer compliant cross-border payment and digital asset services to institutional clients across multiple jurisdictions.
The development comes as European regulators continue to implement clearer frameworks for digital finance, with companies increasingly seeking regulated status to operate across the bloc.
“I can now share that we have fulfilled the conditions set by the CSSF, resulting in Ripple being granted its full EU EMI license – a transformative milestone that allows us to scale our mission of providing robust, compliant blockchain infrastructure to clients across the EU,” Cassie Craddock of Ripple said.
