ESMA Adds 12 Crypto Firms to MiCA Register, Bringing Total to 321 as New Tracking Tool Launches

Aug 5, 2026

The European Securities and Markets Authority added 12 crypto firms in its July 31, 2026 update, bringing the total authorized under the MiCA framework to 321. Concurrently, the MiCA Crypto Alliance launched the MiCA CASP Tracker on August 5, 2026, to turn raw regulatory filings into a searchable directory. This launch follows the July 1, 2026 transitional deadline, which mandated that unauthorized providers halt EU client onboarding and execute wind-down plans.

MiCA CASP Tracker launch

▪The MiCA Crypto Alliance launched the MiCA CASP Tracker on August 5, 2026, as a searchable directory of authorized crypto-asset service providers.
▪The MiCA CASP Tracker allows users to filter authorized crypto firms by country, regulator, company name, authorization date, and licensed services.

Ten regulated crypto services

▪The Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation service list does not cover crypto lending and borrowing activities.

ESMA authorization register updates

▪The European Securities and Markets Authority added Cervo Rendisco, Flandenzo, and Corona Fondenza to its non-compliant entities register, bringing the total to 167.

July 2026 compliance deadline

▪The transitional period for the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation ended on July 1, 2026, requiring unauthorized providers to stop onboarding new European Union clients.

Independent tracker verification limitations

▪The MiCA CASP Tracker is an independent research tool and does not replace the European Securities and Markets Authority register as the authoritative source.
▪The MiCA CASP Tracker is subject to data lags because the European Securities and Markets Authority register is updated weekly and may not immediately reflect national updates.
