Of the 19 crypto exchanges on this list, 5 serve Denmark under a MiCA authorisation from FMA (Austria) (Bybit, KuCoin, Bitpanda and 2 more), 4 serve Denmark under a MiCA authorisation from MFSA in Malta (Crypto.com, Gate, OKX and 1 more), 2 serve Denmark under a MiCA authorisation from CSSF in Luxembourg (Coinbase and Bitstamp) and 2 serve Denmark under a MiCA authorisation from CySEC in Cyprus (Revolut and eToro); 6 more are authorised by CBI, Bank of Lithuania, AFM, BaFin, CNMV and Bank of Latvia.

Base-tier spot taker fees on the order-book exchanges here run from 0.09% (Revolut) to 1.2% (Gemini). Apps without an order book charge a per-trade fee instead: eToro 1%, Paybis 1.49% and 21bitcoin 1.49%.

• Search the company name on the Danish FSA register (finanstilsynet.dk); for a firm licensed elsewhere, on its home regulator's register too (FMA (Austria), MFSA and CSSF for most of this list).
• Check which company your contract is with. Coinbase, for example, onboards residents of Denmark through Coinbase Luxembourg S.A. (CSSF, MiCA CASP · LEI 984500F14CA4571AAC11), and the name on the account-opening documents should match the list.
• Confirm the exchange is an authorised CASP on ESMA's interim MiCA register, and that Denmark is among the member states it has notified.

Yes, with a licensed provider. Since the MiCA transitional period ended on 1 July 2026, crypto platforms serving EU residents need MiCA authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) in an EU member state. Firms already active before 30 December 2024 could keep going for up to 18 months while Finanstilsynet reviewed their application.

By Coinish Score, Coinbase (80/100, Editor Rating 4.1/5), through Coinbase Luxembourg S.A. (CSSF, MiCA CASP · LEI 984500F14CA4571AAC11). Revolut (78) and Crypto.com (76) follow. The score rates the company that would serve you in Denmark, so the same brand can rank differently in another country.

MiCA's rules for crypto services applied in Denmark from 30 December 2024. Firms already operating then could carry on for up to 18 months, as long as they had applied by that date and Finanstilsynet hadn't turned them down. Anyone who hadn't applied by 30 December 2024 had to stop.

Yes. A crypto-asset service provider authorised under MiCA in one member state can serve residents of the others once its home regulator has notified them. All 19 on this list reach Denmark that way, most from Austria (5), Malta (4) and Luxembourg (2).

The home regulator supervises the exchange, and ESMA keeps the central register of authorised CASPs, so you can check any of them there.

Crypto held with an exchange is not covered by investor compensation schemes, so the exchange's own safeguards (segregated client assets, cold storage, proof of reserves) matter more than for a broker account.
