Boerse Stuttgart Digital, Europe’s leading crypto infrastructure partner, announces its partnership with Ilirika, one of the most prominent brokerage companies in Slovenia, aimed at expanding MiCAR-compliant access to crypto services across Europe.
Through the integration of Boerse Stuttgart Digital’s institutional-grade brokerage and custody solutions, clients of Illirika gain reliable and regulated access to cryptocurrencies. Boerse Stuttgart Digital will be fully embedded within Ilirika’s platform, enabling seamless trading and secure custody for its clients.
“As Europe’s leading crypto infrastructure partner, our mission is to drive the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies by providing institutional-grade trading and custody solutions,” said Joaquín Sastre Ibáñez, Head of Institutional Business at Boerse Stuttgart Digital. “We are delighted to partner with Ilirika, one of Slovenia’s leading brokerage companies, to broaden easy and reliable crypto access in Europe. Together, we offer their clients exposure to digital assets without compromising on trust, security, or compliance.”
This partnership unites two regulatory pioneers: Boerse Stuttgart Digital, the first provider in Germany and Ilirika, the first company in Slovenia, to receive the EU-wide license to offer crypto services under MiCAR. "As the first firm in Slovenia licensed under MiCAR, Ilirika is raising the bar for secure, regulated access to digital assets. Partnering with Boerse Stuttgart Digital embeds institutional-grade trading and custody into our platform combining EU-level compliance, robust risk management, and bank-grade safeguarding so our clients can engage with crypto confidently and responsibly,” comments Igor Štemberger, President of the Management Board at Ilirika.
Crypto adoption is accelerating, with an annual growth rate of 7% in Slovenia and nearly 50% across Eastern Europe. These numbers underscore the need for financial institutions to integrate crypto into their offerings or risk missing significant business opportunities. Through their partnership, Boerse Stuttgart Digital and Ilirika aim to meet the rising demand for MiCAR-compliant trading and custody solutions in the region and across Europe.
