The European crypto regulatory landscape is transforming under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR). Recent updates to the CASP register show a growing list of authorized and notified firms across multiple EU jurisdictions — signaling that the MiCAR era is truly here.
Key observations:
- Multiple EU countries — including Germany, Netherlands, Malta, France, Ireland, and Luxembourg — are now actively processing CASP authorizations.
- Diverse service approvals — from custody & administration, trading platform operations, and exchange services, to portfolio management and crypto-asset advice.
- Global players entering the EU — well-known names like Coinbase, Kraken, Bitpanda, Crypto.com, eToro, and N26 have secured their place under MiCAR.
- Mix of local and international firms — showing both homegrown innovation and cross-border market entry.
