- The CEO of Bitget, Gracy Chen, mentioned that the appointment of Oliver creates our confidence in the long-term presence of Bitget in Europe.
- Bitget also mentioned that the headquarters will meet with local requirements in markets where services may be provided, strengthening its aim for regulated expansion.
Bitget, a leading crypto exchange, has positioned Oliver Stauber as the Chief Executive Officer of Bitget EU, following its plans to set up its European headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
The move comes as Bitget places itself for operations under the European Union’s Market in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which rolls out a coordinated framework for governance over the bloc.
Bitget mentions Europe as a main region under its Universal Exchange aim, with MiCA anticipated to shape the upcoming phase of regulated digital asset services in the European Union.
The exchange has also validated that Vienna will act as its planned EU headquarters, backing transparent regulatory engagement and robust internal controls as the company prepares for MiCA implementation.
The Austrian hub is anticipated to function as an operational centre for compliance, governance, and supervisory collaboration over the European Economic Area (EEA). Bitget also mentioned that the headquarters will meet with local requirements in markets where services may be provided, strengthening its aim for regulated expansion.
Stabuber’s Intense Work
Stauber takes intense European executive, regulatory and legal expertise over digital assets and financial services. Before joining Bitget, he worked as managing director and CEO of KuCoin EU Holding GmbH in Vienna.
He also worked in senior positions at Bitpanda, like Chief Legal Officer, where he oversaw group legal, regulatory and compliance functions. The commitment of Stauber included licensing efforts and supervisory engagement over various jurisdictions.
The CEO of Bitget, Gracy Chen, mentioned that the appointment of Oliver creates our confidence in the long-term presence of Bitget in Europe. He further went on to add that he takes the regulatory fluency with operational discipline required to establish our EU headquarters in Austria and make the governance-first approach under MiCAR more robust.
Stauber stated that MiCA is shaping again the anticipations for digital asset providers in Europe, positioning greater emphasis on risk controls, revelation and operational discipline.
