Alchemy Pay Secures EU Market Access via MiCA Partnership with ZBX Group
Alchemy Pay, a leading fiat-to-crypto payment gateway provider, has secured a strategic partnership with ZBX Group, a Malta-based firm authorized to operate as a crypto asset service provider under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regime. This partnership, effective since 2025, enables Alchemy Pay to provide compliant fiat-crypto gateway services and regulated payment channels across Europe.
The partnership, which may evolve into formal equity participation and joint governance, establishes a 'dual-engine' framework for compliant fiat-crypto ramps across Europe. Alchemy Pay and ZBX Group plan to build fully compliant on- and off-ramp services integrating Visa, Mastercard, and regional banking channels.
Alchemy Pay secured EU market access through this exclusive partnership with MiCA-licensed ZBX Group. ZBX Group is one of the few firms authorized by the Malta Financial Services Authority to operate under the EU's MiCA regime. This partnership provides Alchemy Pay with direct access to operate within Europe's new compliance-driven environment, offering a more robust and efficient pathway for sustained operations. It also provides regulatory clarity for deploying Alchemy Pay's fiat gateway to crypto users across Europe.
Since January 2025, only a select group of industry heavyweights, including Circle, Robinhood, OKX, and Bybit, have successfully navigated the MiCA approval process. Alchemy Pay's partnership with ZBX Group places it among these industry leaders, demonstrating its commitment to compliance and sustainable growth in the European market.
