Thomas Müller

Thomas Müller leads Crypto License Europe's Germany practice from the Düsseldorf head office. Germany is one of the most rigorous CASP authorization jurisdictions in the EU — BaFin's requirements for substance, governance, and risk management are among the most demanding — and Thomas's decade of experience navigating BaFin processes gives clients a crucial advantage in the German market.

Thomas joined Crypto License Europe in 2019 after roles at KPMG Germany and a Frankfurt-based financial services law firm. His background in German banking law and BaFin supervisory practice makes him one of the most effective consultants for clients targeting Germany as a CASP hub or seeking to passport from a BaFin authorization across the EU.
