October 23, 2025 – Web3 gaming platform Metacade achieves MiCA compliance with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) a major milestone positioning it as one of the first GameFi projects to align with the EU’s new digital asset framework. The development allows Metacade’s native $MCADE token to be listed on regulated European exchanges such as Bitvavo and Bitpanda, marking a significant step toward institutional legitimacy and broader market access.
Metacade announced the milestone via X, stating it had secured “MiCAR European Approval,” becoming an early adopter of the EU’s landmark crypto regulatory framework. The move precedes the full enforcement of MiCA in 2025, covering token issuance, trading, and service provision across the European Economic Area.
Under Title II of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, Metacade published a compliant crypto-asset white paper on October 17, 2025. The document, self-certified by Metacade LLC (Belize), declares $MCADE a utility token providing access to gaming features, staking rewards, governance voting, and in-game transactions.

Metacade’s white paper confirms that while the MiCA compliance process does not constitute official approval from an EU authority, it ensures full alignment with the regulation’s transparency and disclosure requirements. The Netherlands was designated as the home Member State, with notification dated September 20, 2025, and trading admission commencing October 17, 2025.
The compliant framework enables $MCADE to operate legally within the EU, offering transparency and investor protection standards that few gaming tokens have yet achieved.
Built on Base, Coinbase’s Layer-2 blockchain, Metacade integrates Optimistic Rollup technology for efficient gaming transactions and DeFi interoperability. Its Certik audit scored “very good,” confirming strong smart contract security.
Metacade’s ecosystem supports blockchain-based tournaments, staking, and AI-enhanced gameplay, with flagship titles like Gangs of Metacadia leading user engagement.
On X, community members called the achievement a “major step toward mainstream adoption,” praising Metacade’s leadership in regulatory readiness. Analysts note that early MiCA compliance could give Metacade a competitive advantage across Europe’s growing blockchain gaming sector, projected to reach €16 billion by 2028.
As of today, $MCADE remains a utility token with no new public offerings planned, focusing instead on ecosystem growth and strategic partnerships with regulated European entities.
