Paris, December 5, 2025

Cometh, a specialist in blockchain infrastructure and partner to major accounts (FDJ, Worldcoin, Gnosis), announces it has obtained its MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) authorization as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP).

This regulatory validation positions Cometh as the first regulated bridge between traditional finance and Decentralized Finance (DeFi). It enables the company to accelerate the deployment of Louis Finance, its treasury management solution designed to bring blockchain yields to the real economy.

Institutional Security Meets DeFi Efficiency

Building on 5 years of expertise in defining and executing complex blockchain architectures, Cometh operates on the conviction that global finance is inevitably migrating toward more efficient rails: continuous, auditable in real-time, and programmable.

Louis Finance is the embodiment of this vision. The platform offers companies a flexible treasury placement solution featuring:

• Total Liquidity: Deposited funds are available at any time.

• Euro Anchor: Usage of stablecoins pegged to the Euro.

• Performance: A variable yield, historically outperforming the capitalized €STR, generated by providing liquidity on decentralized money markets.

The First Custodian Born from the Industry and Owning its Technology

Cometh has developed its own crypto-asset custody technology to strictly meet the demands of its market. This expertise is built on years of experience in direct contact with the constantly evolving usages and practices of the blockchain ecosystem. Cometh is the first authorized custodian in France that does not rely on any third-party technology components: a strong signal that blockchain pure players can meet the standards of the strictest regulators.

Risk Transparency: The New Standard

Securing the MiCA authorization guarantees Cometh’s clients the highest standards of protection regarding asset custody and operational compliance.

Faithful to its transparency policy and in strict adherence to ESMA requirements , Cometh clarifies that while access and custody are now regulated services, the DeFi protocols used to generate yield (such as Aave) operate outside the scope of MiCA regulation.

"The MiCA authorization is a major milestone: it validates the robustness of our infrastructure and processes," states Jérôme de Tychey, CEO of Cometh.

"Our role is not to mask the reality of DeFi, but to integrate it into existing systems. By choosing a MiCA-authorized partner like Cometh, companies do not eliminate the technological risk inherent to the underlying protocol, but they ensure that their gateway to this protocol is secure, audited, and compliant with European requirements."

Towards "Programmable Money" for the Real Economy

Beyond treasury placement, Cometh is preparing the future of B2B flows. The company is actively working on extending its licenses to integrate payment and transfer logic. The goal: to offer SMEs a tool for "programmable money that never sleeps," capable of optimizing Working Capital Requirements (WCR) and automating financial flows.

For wealth management, Cometh also plans to expand its range of services and available assets, confirming its role as a trusted gateway between traditional finance and blockchain innovation.
