Denmark's Finanstilsynet is the financial supervisory authority overseeing credit institutions, investment firms, and insurance companies under EU MiFID II. Danish retail clients benefit from ESMA leverage caps, negative balance protection, and the Danish Guarantee Fund for retail investors. Several Nordic and international brokers hold Danish authorisations.

Finanstilsynet is classified as a Tier 1 crypto regulator. Comprehensive crypto regulatory framework with licensing requirements, asset segregation, and consumer protections.
We currently list 3 crypto exchanges regulated or registered under Finanstilsynet. The full list is shown above, sorted by overall rating.
Finanstilsynet is based in Denmark and covers the European Union jurisdiction. As a Tier 1 crypto regulator, it requires exchanges to hold client assets separately, maintain capital reserves, and meet ongoing compliance obligations, comparable to MiFID II standards for traditional finance.
Visit the official Finanstilsynet website and use their public register or licence verification tool. Enter the exchange's registered name to confirm its current status. This is the most reliable way to verify regulatory standing.
Finanstilsynet regulation primarily addresses licensing, AML/KYC compliance, and operational standards. Compensation for hacks depends on the exchange's own insurance fund or Proof of Reserves commitments, not typically a government-backed compensation scheme. Always choose exchanges with published cold storage ratios and Proof of Reserves attestations.
