Norway's Finanstilsynet (the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) oversees banks, investment firms, and insurance companies under EEA MiFID II rules. Norwegian retail clients receive ESMA-aligned leverage caps, negative balance protection, and access to the Norwegian Investor Compensation Scheme. Many EU-passporting brokers serve Norway under EEA passporting arrangements.

Read ReviewSaxo Bank offers cryptocurrency CFDs on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and select major tokens via SaxoTraderGO - backed by Danish banking regulation and institutional-grade custody, though the selection is narrow and CFD-only with no real coin ownership.

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 Norway and covers the Norway 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.
