The story

Founded in 2014 as La Maison du Bitcoin — Europe's first physical Bitcoin retail venue in Paris — the company rebranded as Coinhouse and evolved into a regulated French crypto broker serving individuals, private wealth clients, and businesses. It was first to obtain AMF PSAN registration in 2020, positioning compliance as a core differentiator. Beyond retail crypto trading, Coinhouse expanded into business treasury management, Euro accounts (backed by Treezor and Société Générale), and institutional/enterprise services via Coinhouse Solutions, pivoting toward a full-stack regulated crypto infrastructure provider offering DASP-as-a-Service.
