SOURCE: ESMA INTERIM MICA REGISTER, AUTHORISED CASPS (TITLE V), SOURCE SNAPSHOT 19 OCT 2026, ENRICHED 22 OCT 2026 WITH INTERPRETIVE CRYPTO-NATIVE / TRADFI CLASSIFICATION, ESMA REGISTER HUB ↗ (REGISTER-LEVEL LINK, NOT AN ENTITY RECORD)
EMT figures count ESMA notifications, not issuers: 50 notifications cover 25 issuers. Non-compliant figures count ESMA rows: 178 rows cover 175 distinct entities (three duplicate CONSO entries).
By jurisdiction

By service authorised
Letters map to the ten MiCA (Art. 3) crypto-asset services — full wording under the register.
Crypto-native vs TradFi
Crypto-native: primary business is crypto-asset services. TradFi: existing banks, investment firms and EMIs that have added MiCA authorisation. Interpretive overlay — MiCA defines no such split.
Category breakdown
Permissions per firm
How many of the 10 MiCA services each authorised firm holds. Average is —. Seven rows have no parsed service code because their source field contains a brand or category rather than a MiCA permission — they remain visible and are flagged as data quality in the directory.
European vs non-European origin
Where the ultimate parent is headquartered, not where the EU-licensed entity sits. Geographic Europe (incl. UK, Switzerland, Norway) counts as European.

Multi-entity groups
6 true multi-entity groups hold more than one CASP licence. Bitpanda is the only one spanning multiple countries. Detail on the "Multi-entity groups" tab.
Potential duplicate records
Names are normalised only to flag records for human review. Nothing is removed automatically because similarly named legal entities may hold separate licences.
Licensed CASPs by country
Click a country cell to filter the directory tab. Twenty-six of the 30 EEA jurisdictions have at least one CASP in this snapshot; Greece, Hungary, Poland and Romania have none.
Business-model mix by country
Bar length shows each jurisdiction's total authorised CASPs; colour shows the primary business-model profile of those firms. Hover a segment for its exact count. This is an interpretive analytical overlay, not a MiCA legal classification.
Entities licensed for each MiCA service
A firm can hold several services. Click a row to filter the directory tab to firms holding that permission. Custody is the most-held service (231 of 374 firms). Trading-platform authorisation is the rarest: 22 firms hold it.
What each MiCA service means
| Code | Plain-language summary | Firms |
|---|
Multi-entity groups
Brands holding more than one CASP licence. Bitpanda is the only group spanning multiple countries (Austria, Germany, Malta). The German Volksbanken / Raiffeisenbanken cooperative network is excluded — they are independent legal entities, not a single commercial group.
Potential duplicate records
Names are normalised only to flag records for human review. Nothing is removed automatically because similarly named legal entities may hold separate licences.
European vs non-European origin
Origin = where the ultimate parent is founded / headquartered. The EU-licensed entity itself is always in the EEA; this shows who owns it. Geographic Europe (incl. UK, Switzerland, Norway) counts as European.

Selected exchanges absent from the 19 October 2026 snapshot
Absence is a fact about this dataset only — it does not by itself confirm a firm has withdrawn from the EU or been refused; an application may be in progress, or status may have changed.
| Exchange | Note |
|---|---|
| Binance | Not present in this snapshot. Absence from this snapshot does not establish present regulatory status. Verify with ESMA or a national authority. |
| Bitfinex | Not present in this snapshot. |
| Bitget | Not present in this snapshot. |
| MEXC | Not present in this snapshot. |
| HTX (Huobi) | Not present in this snapshot. |
| Upbit | Not present in this snapshot. |
These well-known global exchanges do not appear in the 19 October 2026 register snapshot. Absence is a fact about this dataset only — it does not by itself confirm a firm has withdrawn from the EU or been refused; an application may be in progress, or status may have changed. Verify current standing with the relevant regulator or ESMA before relying on it.
Non-compliant entities (NCEs)
Entities declared to ESMA by a national competent authority as providing crypto-asset services in the EU without the required authorisation — MiCA Articles 59/61, published by ESMA under Articles 109/110. The register is non-exhaustive: absence from this list is not proof of compliance, and each row is an authority declaration, not a court finding.

Frequently asked questions
- Which country has issued the most MiCA licences?
- Germany leads the EEA by CASP count, with BaFin issuing more authorisations than any other national regulator. This reflects Germany's existing financial infrastructure: many firms already regulated under German law applied to extend their authorisation to cover MiCA services rather than incorporate elsewhere. Ireland and Malta also rank highly, driven by Coinbase, Kraken, and OKX, which established their EU-facing entities there before MiCA came into force.
- How does MiCA passporting work?
- A firm authorised as a CASP in one EEA country can offer the same services across all other EEA member states without seeking separate national approvals. The authorised firm notifies its home regulator, which informs ESMA and the relevant host country regulators. Passporting covers only the specific services listed in the firm's authorisation. Adding service types requires amending the original authorisation with the home regulator. The EEA covers 30 countries: the 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. A CASP registered in any one of those countries can passport to the remaining 29.
- What is the difference between crypto-native and TradFi on this dashboard?
- This dashboard divides CASPs into two groups. Crypto-native firms are businesses whose primary activity is crypto-asset services: exchanges, brokers, custodians, payment providers, and infrastructure operators. TradFi firms are traditional financial institutions (banks, investment firms, payments institutions, and electronic money institutions) that have added MiCA authorisation alongside their existing regulated activities. This split is an interpretive classification and is not a category defined by MiCA or ESMA. The classification is based on each firm's primary business model.
- How often is this register updated?
- The current displayed snapshot states an ESMA source date of 19 October 2026 and an enriched generation date of 22 October 2026. This page is not a live feed and does not automatically refresh when ESMA publishes a new file. For time-sensitive compliance work or legal decisions, verify the firm's status directly at ESMA or with the relevant national competent authority. This dashboard is a research tool, not a legal source of record.
- Why does the count sometimes differ from the official ESMA register?
- This snapshot does not expose LEIs or direct entity-record links, so the 374 rows cannot be reconciled against ESMA's entity identities from this page alone. A separate ESMA CSV parser groups rows by a composite of LEI (if supplied), lowercased legal name and home member state, not LEI alone. The published Radar is an enriched dated snapshot; differences may reflect its snapshot date, grouping or enrichment and need source-level verification. Crypto-native and TradFi are interpretive categories, not ESMA statuses. Verify a firm's current status in ESMA's register or with its home authority.
