MiCA register

The ESMA MiCA page offers five downloads, one per part of the regulation. Each file is a table with one row per entry, and a sixth file describes every column and its format.

• White papers for crypto-assets other than asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens (Title II): 1,051 rows
• Issuers of asset-referenced tokens (Title III): no entry on 22 October 2026
• Issuers of e-money tokens and their white papers (Title IV): 50 rows from 25 issuers
• Crypto-asset service providers (Title V): 387 rows
• Non-compliant entities: 178 rows

The white paper file names the offeror or the person seeking admission to trading, the member states of the offer and a link to the document. ESMA states that it has not reviewed or approved these white papers, and that the offeror alone answers for their content.

An entry in the service provider file names the competent authority, the home member state, the legal entity with its LEI, the commercial name, the address and the website. It adds the date of the authorization or notification, the end date of a withdrawn authorization, the services by letter and the member states where the firm intends to provide them.

A further field states the legal basis, Article 63 for an authorization or Article 60 for a notification by an already licensed firm, though many rows leave it empty. All 387 rows of the file of 22 October 2026 are sorted by home state in the MiCA CASP list, with the services and passport countries of each firm.

The register of the national authority is authoritative, because ESMA only compiles what the authorities report and publishes it with a delay of days or weeks. In Germany the company database of BaFin shows each license, and in France the white lists of the AMF name the authorized providers and those that passport into France.

The Netherlands publish their crypto providers on the crypto pages of the AFM, Ireland keeps its lists in the registers of the Central Bank, and Cyprus lists its firms in the entity search of CySEC. Austria offers a company database at the FMA, and Italy links the ESMA file from the CASP page of CONSOB.

The CSV files have no search box, so a lookup means opening the file in a spreadsheet and searching for the legal name, because the brand on an app often differs from the company that holds the license. The MiCA Crypto Alliance converts the ESMA data into a searchable CASP Tracker and White Paper Tracker, and the official file remains the reference for both.

A row with an end date describes a withdrawn authorization, which ESMA keeps in the file with the date the withdrawal took effect. A name in the non-compliant file means that an authority found the firm offering crypto services without permission, so it never counts as a license.

Finance Loop discussed MiCA compliance with Bybit EU, which appears in the register with an authorization of the Austrian FMA, at the Bybit EU Crypto Evening in Frankfurt. Compliance teams who need a structured course on the regulation find the MiCAR certificate program in the Finance Loop education listings.

The ESMA MiCA register sits on the MiCA page of ESMA under the heading "Interim MiCA Register", where each of the five files has its own download link. ESMA also lists the files on its page of databases and registers, together with the date of the last update.

Every competent authority keeps its own CASP register, and the national entry shows a decision before the ESMA file does. CySEC in Cyprus, the AFM in the Netherlands, the Bank of Lithuania and BaFin in Germany each publish their CASPs, while Poland had no MiCA authority and no entries on 22 October 2026.

The white paper register lists the white papers for crypto-assets other than stablecoins that offerors have notified to their authority, with a link to each document. The rules for the content and the format of these documents are set out under MiCA white paper.

ESMA publishes a new version of the interim register about once a week, so a decision taken by a national authority can take days or weeks to appear. The file of 22 October 2026 held 387 CASP entries, each with the date of the decision that the national authority reported.

An entry in the CASP file shows an authorization or a notification, but a row with an end date describes a firm whose authorization was withdrawn. A firm in the non-compliant file holds no license at all, and the services column shows which crypto services an entry covers.
