What this means for you
The authorization applies to Bitpanda GmbH. MiCA protection covers you when your contract is with this specific company: check the terms of service to see who the contracting party is. The same brand may have companies outside the EU that do not hold MiCA authorization.
A license means regulatory supervision, capital requirements, segregation of your crypto-assets from the firm’s own assets and a complaints procedure. It is not a deposit guarantee or protection against a price drop. What a MiCA license does and does not give you.
