Tangany’s €10M Raise and the Future of Crypto Infrastructure in Europe

In the rapidly evolving institutional crypto space, Europe’s regulatory clarity under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework is reshaping the landscape for digital asset infrastructure. At the forefront of this transformation is Tangany, a German FinTech that recently secured a €10 million Series A funding round led by Baader Bank, Elevator Ventures (Raiffeisen Bank International), and Heliad Crypto Partners [1]. This raise, building on its 2022 Seed round, underscores Tangany’s strategic position as a regulated custodian and infrastructure provider in a market where digital assets under custody have surged from €400 million to over €3 billion since 2022 [2].

Strategic Market Entry: Regulatory Leadership as a Competitive Edge

Tangany’s success hinges on its regulatory-first approach. As one of the first MiCA-compliant custodians in Europe, the company has positioned itself to serve institutions navigating the EU’s stringent but increasingly clear crypto rules [3]. This alignment with MiCA is not just compliance—it’s a strategic lever. By securing licenses from regulators like BaFin, Tangany has become a trusted partner for institutions such as eToro, Bitvavo, and flatexDEGIRO, which rely on its white-label custody APIs to integrate blockchain technology without building infrastructure from scratch [4].

The Series A funding will accelerate Tangany’s expansion into new European markets, with a focus on deepening partnerships with banks and financial institutions. For instance, its collaboration with Wyden and Tradias to power flatexDEGIRO’s crypto offering—a fully MiCA-compliant service—demonstrates how Tangany’s infrastructure can scale across borders while adhering to regulatory standards [5]. This model is particularly appealing in a post-MiCA environment, where cross-border interoperability and compliance are non-negotiable for institutional players.

Cross-Border Scalability: The Technical and Strategic Playbook

Tangany’s technical architecture is designed for scalability. Its white-label B2B custody platform allows institutions to offer crypto services via APIs, reducing development costs and time-to-market. This is critical in a fragmented European market where 60+ institutional clients now rely on Tangany’s infrastructure [6]. The company’s focus on sub-custody services under MiCAR further strengthens its value proposition: institutions can outsource key management and blockchain operations to a regulated entity, mitigating operational risks while complying with EU rules [7].

The EU’s broader infrastructure ambitions also play into Tangany’s strategy. The Global Gateway initiative, which allocates €300 billion for cross-border infrastructure projects—including green and digital assets—creates a tailwind for companies like Tangany that enable scalable, compliant digital asset ecosystems [8]. By aligning with this vision, Tangany is not just a custodian but a foundational layer in Europe’s transition to a tokenized financial system.

The Investment Thesis: A Regulated Infrastructure Play

Tangany’s €10M raise reflects investor confidence in its ability to bridge traditional finance and blockchain innovation. The participation of banking giants like Baader Bank and Raiffeisen signals a shift in institutional sentiment: crypto infrastructure is no longer a speculative bet but a necessary upgrade to financial systems [9]. With assets under custody growing 7.5x since 2022 and a client base that includes major trading platforms, Tangany is capitalizing on the institutional demand for secure, compliant solutions [10].

However, the path forward is not without challenges. MiCA’s implementation requires continuous adaptation to evolving regulations, and competition from other crypto custodians is intensifying. Yet, Tangany’s early mover advantage in regulatory compliance, combined with its strategic partnerships and technical agility, positions it to dominate the European institutional crypto infrastructure market.

Conclusion: A Cornerstone of Europe’s Crypto Future

Tangany’s €10M raise is more than a funding event—it’s a signal of Europe’s maturing crypto infrastructure. By combining regulatory leadership, cross-border scalability, and institutional partnerships, the company is building the rails for a new financial ecosystem. As MiCA solidifies Europe’s role as a global crypto hub, Tangany’s infrastructure will be critical for institutions seeking to navigate compliance while capturing the opportunities of tokenization and digital assets. For investors, this represents a high-conviction play on the convergence of regulation, technology, and institutional adoption.
