Coinhouse: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Coinhouse is a French crypto platform operated by COINHOUSE SAS, which offers buying, selling and custody of crypto-assets. The authorised services listed in the French regulator's register include custody and administration, exchange of crypto-assets for funds and for other crypto-assets, order execution, advice, portfolio management and transfer services. The platform is run by the company itself.

COINHOUSE SAS holds a MiCA authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider (PSCA), granted by the French regulator AMF on 7 May 2026, so the company operates under the EU-wide framework. Ownership, any parent company and the location of data hosting are not published and should be requested from the provider. For a European organisation, the relevant points are the regulatory status, the hosting arrangements and the terms for sub-processors.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Coinhouse

Coinhouse is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Coinhouse scores best on data residency.

Coinhouse is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Coinhouse together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
