zerohash europe, the European subsidiary of digital asset infrastructure provider zerohash, has received an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence from De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB).
The company said the approval from the Dutch central bank will support its stablecoin payment services across the European Economic Area (EEA).
zerohash europe has been operating across the EEA under an existing Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) authorisation. It received the authorisation in October 2025 from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM).
In a statement, zerohash said it is the first MiCAR-licenced firm to obtain an e-money licence in line with the European Banking Authority’s (EBA) June 2025 no-action letter and its February 2026 clarifications.
It added that the new licence “further buttresses zerohash’s leading global regulatory posture” providing additional certainty for activities it supports for financial institution and enterprise clients in the EEA.
The EBA guidance indicated that some e-money token (EMT)-related payment flows require both a MiCAR licence and a payments or e-money authorisation. It also set expectations that MiCAR-authorised firms involved in EMT payments should secure the relevant payments licencing by early 2026.
zerohash said its regulatory position in the Netherlands will support stablecoin and digital asset flows for banks, brokerages, fintechs, payment providers, and enterprise platforms operating in Europe.
zerohash europe managing director Roeland Goldberg said: “Europe has a massive market for stablecoin applications.
“The announcement comes on the heels of accelerating momentum for zerohash across Europe. In recent months, the company has expanded its EU presence in Amsterdam and is now powering partners including Interactive Brokers Europe in the region.”
zerohash provides infrastructure for crypto, stablecoin, and tokenised assets. The company said it works with regulated entities across the EU, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, and the US, including coverage in 51 US jurisdictions.
Earlier this month, Currensea’s newly established European subsidiary obtained a Dutch payments licence to expand across Europe.
