The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) updated its interim Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) register on 21 August 2026.
The register is intended to give the market a central EU-level view of crypto-asset white papers, authorised issuers, authorised crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), and entities identified as non-compliant. It applies across EU member states, including Luxembourg and Sweden.
Crypto firms, token issuers, investors, and counterparties can use the register to check an entity’s regulatory status and review published white papers. Firms operating or seeking to operate under MiCA should ensure that their authorisation and disclosure position is accurately reflected in the relevant national and ESMA records.
An entry in the register can be particularly relevant when selecting a service provider or assessing a token offering, because it indicates whether the entity is authorised or has been identified as non-compliant under the MiCA framework.
