MiCA authorisations: which crypto providers are licensed?

The MiCA transitional period ended on 1 July 2026: anyone offering crypto services in the EU needs a CASP authorisation. Below, per provider: which legal entity is authorised, by which regulator, since when, and exactly which services that authorisation covers — for our partners and for providers we earn nothing from. All of it straight from the public ESMA register, not from press releases.

The ESMA register held 335 authorisations on the date checked. If a provider is not listed here, check the source yourself before opening an account — this is a selection, not the full register.

Why this matters

An authorisation means supervision: capital requirements, safeguarding of client assets, complaint handling and disclosure rules. It does not mean your money is guaranteed — crypto is not covered by a deposit guarantee scheme. And an authorisation only covers the services listed in it; anything beyond falls under a different regime, or none at all.
