What is MiCA regulation?

MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) is the EU's comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). It came into full effect in December 2024 and requires exchanges operating in the EU to obtain a MiCA licence from a national competent authority.

How to read this tracker

This page summarises publicly available information. A provider's authorisation is decided by its national authority and published in ESMA's MiCA register — the register is the source, not this page. Registers can lag behind decisions, so if a provider is missing, check the national authority's own list as well. Statuses here were last reviewed on the date shown above.
