Coinhouse Acquires Tilvest and Strengthens Its Position in Crypto Management

The shockwave caused by the implementation of MiCA continues to reshape the landscape in Europe. In this regulatory whirlwind, Coinhouse has not merely followed the trend: the historic French player made a significant move on August 27, 2026, by acquiring Tilvest's discretionary management activities. This acquisition is both strategic and aggressive, allowing Coinhouse to gain access to a valuable network of wealth management advisors (CGP) and financial investment advisors (CIF).

A Regulatory Context That Reshuffles the Cards

July 1, 2026, marked a true big bang for the sector. The MiCA regulation came into effect, requiring every crypto-asset service provider to hold a license to continue operating. Coinhouse, however, has been a pioneer. As early as May 2026, it secured its precious sesame from the AMF with a PSCA license covering seven strategic services, including advisory and portfolio management. Tilvest, on the other hand, was left behind. Without this regulatory visa, the platform found itself cornered, forced to seek an exit for its teams, clients, and partners.

Where some saw a dead end, Coinhouse sensed an opportunity. The acquisition of Tilvest is not merely a defensive move: it is a masterstroke. Behind Tilvest, nearly 500 partner advisors now fall under Coinhouse's umbrella. This network has been patiently built since 2021, which the company could never have constructed so quickly on its own. In just a few weeks, Coinhouse has acquired what would have taken it years to build alone.

The Forces at Play

Coinhouse is not a newcomer in the sector. Founded in 2014 under the name "La Maison du Bitcoin" by Éric Larchevêque and Thomas France, the platform now claims over 100,000 active client accounts. With more than twelve years of expertise, it has established itself as a reference player in the French digital asset market. The platform stands out for its brokerage model focused on support and education.

Tilvest, for its part, had built a solid reputation among wealth management professionals. The platform offered management mandates on crypto-assets, allowing CGP and CIF to integrate digital assets into their clients' investment strategies. Its competitive offering and recognized expertise made it a preferred partner in the sector.

A Win-Win Complementarity

The operation is based on an obvious logic of complementarity. Coinhouse provides Tilvest with what it lacked: a robust regulatory framework, proven security, custody, and compliance infrastructures, as well as a PSCA license allowing it to operate legally. In return, Tilvest offers Coinhouse sharp expertise in discretionary management and privileged access to a network of wealth professionals.

Tilvest's teams are joining Coinhouse, ensuring continuity of service for partners and clients. The activity is now operated under the brand "Tilvest by Coinhouse". This reassures partner advisors, who can continue to rely on the teams they know, now strengthened by Coinhouse's resources.

Benefits for Wealth Professionals and Their Clients

For CGP, CIF, and their clients, this operation translates into a portfolio management offering for crypto that meets the highest market standards. The secure regulatory framework, cutting-edge infrastructures, and expertise of the teams united within Coinhouse promise quality and sustainability.

Nicolas Louvet, CEO and co-founder of Coinhouse, summarizes the ambition of this acquisition:

"By taking over the expertise related to Tilvest's discretionary management activities, we provide wealth management professionals and their clients with a robust solution and a secure legal framework, as well as competitive investment products on crypto-assets."

He also emphasizes the opportunity to welcome teams whose expertise strengthens the crypto management division.

A Strong Signal for the Market

Coinhouse's acquisition of Tilvest illustrates the dynamics at play in the crypto sector in the age of MiCA. Licensed players, equipped with the necessary regulatory and financial capacity, are absorbing those who have not made the leap. This consolidation movement is expected to continue, reshaping the competitive landscape in favor of the strongest operators.

For Coinhouse, the operation is not limited to external growth: it marks the affirmation of a unique positioning, combining the legitimacy of a pioneer, the rigor of a regulated player, and the agility of a company capable of seizing market opportunities. As European regulation is now fully in effect, Coinhouse appears well-positioned to become a key player in crypto management in France and beyond.
