Crypto for institutions requires a different product than crypto for retail. The compliance requirements, the custody standards, the reporting obligations, and the client servicing expectations of professional investors are categorically different from those of an individual buying Bitcoin through an app. Coinhouse was founded in Paris in 2014 as one of France's first regulated crypto asset service providers, building a platform designed for the higher standards that institutional and professional clients require. Its services cover crypto trading, custody, staking, and portfolio management for professional investors — with the regulatory standing of a PSAN (Prestataire de Services sur Actifs Numériques) registration under France's crypto asset framework. Coinhouse has positioned itself as the French institutional crypto bridge — the regulated, professional-grade alternative to the consumer exchanges that dominate by volume but not by client sophistication. In the European institutional crypto market, where MiCA regulation is creating clearer requirements for crypto asset service providers, platforms that have already built their compliance infrastructure to institutional standards are better positioned than those scrambling to retrofit regulation onto consumer products.
