Distribute in no time
BMCP GmbH’s MiFID II Tied Agent Services enable you to operate as tied agent under our liability umbrella (Haftungsdach), giving you access to the European capital market and allowing you to offer investment services without the expense of setting up your own compliance systems.
With BMCP as your regulatory partner, you can continue to focus on your core business while also being able to confidently approach European investors, as we ensure compliance with EU regulations, including investor protection and KYC/AML processes — via our seamless API solution.
What are tied agent services?
Our Tied Agent service provides a comprehensive regulatory umbrella that allows you to legally broker financial instruments without the burden of obtaining your own standalone license. By operating under our authorization, you gain immediate legitimacy and a secure framework to conduct regulated business activities.
MiFID II-coverage for your digital asset strategy
Our infrastructure ensures your business model is fully compliant with MiFID II, the gold standard for European financial markets. This coverage enables you to target, actively market & distribute securities and tokenized assets with the same regulatory standing as established investment firms.
The Missing Link: Security Tokens for MiCA Firms
While MiCA regulates crypto-asset services, many digital assets qualify as financial instruments, which legally necessitates a MiFID II license. Together with our legal experts, our Tied Agent model bridges this critical gap, allowing MiCA-licensed firms (CASPs) to compliantly offer security tokens and complex investment products (such as futures or derivatives) that fall outside the scope of a pure crypto license.
Engineered for Platforms
The Tied Agent model is engineered for crypto exchanges, Real-World Asset issuers & financial institutions seeking to legitimize and expand their European footprint. It is the ideal structure for innovative companies ready to transition from unregulated environments to fully compliant capital markets.
Brokerage Capabilities
As a Tied Agent, you will be able to actively broker investment opportunities to clients across the European Union under our liability umbrella. You remain the primary point of contact for your client relationships, keeping your brand identity, while we provide the regulatory framework required to execute financial transactions.
Partner with the Pioneers
With a foundation dating back to 2018 and a full BaFin license secured in 2019, we bring over eight years of operational resilience to your partnership. We are pioneers in the digital assets and securities space, having successfully navigated the regulatory landscape from inception.

Compliance-First Approach
We adopt a “Compliance First” approach, managing the entire backend of regulatory reporting, monitoring, and risk management. This frees your team to focus exclusively on sales, marketing, and product development, knowing the regulatory heavy lifting is securely handled by us.
The Fast-Track to the European Capital Market
Obtaining a full MiFID II license is a multi-year, capital-intensive endeavour often costing millions in setup and maintenance. Operating as a Tied Agent offers a streamlined, cost-effective alternative that drastically reduces time-to-market, allowing you to deploy capital towards growth rather than administration.
Supported Asset Classes
Our license covers a comprehensive spectrum of asset classes, from traditional equity or debt products, to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and crypto derivatives. Whether you are dealing in real estate, commodities, or venture funds, our regulatory permissions are designed to accommodate diverse investment structures.
Plug-and-Play Compliance Infrastructure
Our infrastructure features state-of-the-art API connectivity, allowing seamless integration into your existing front-end platform. This ensures real-time data flow and a frictionless user experience for your investors.
Our integrated identity verification solutions handle all Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks automatically. This ensures your onboarding process remains smooth and swift while strictly adhering to compliance requirements.
Through our license, your services can be passported to all 27 European Union member states and the EEA. This unlocks access to a market of nearly 450 million people without the need to apply for separate licenses in each jurisdiction.
Unlock the full spectrum of the investor landscape, from retail investors to professional and institutional entities with our Tied Agent architecture. We provide the necessary segmentation and protective measures to compliantly onboard and service diverse investor categories.
