Frequently asked questions
What does it mean if an exchange is "MiCA-licensed"?
It means the exchange holds an authorisation as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, granted by a national regulator such as Malta’s MFSA, Germany’s BaFin or France’s AMF. A licence in one EU/EEA member state can be "passported" to operate across all 30 EEA countries.
When did MiCA come into force?
MiCA’s rules for stablecoins (asset-referenced and e-money tokens) applied from 30 June 2024, and the rules for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) applied from 30 December 2024. Member states could grant existing firms a transitional ("grandfathering") period of up to 18 months; the last of those windows closed on 1 July 2026.
Is the MiCA deadline the same in every EU country?
No. Each member state set its own transitional window of up to 18 months. Germany (BaFin) and Ireland (CBI) ended theirs on 31 December 2025; the Netherlands and several others used shorter ~6-month windows. 1 July 2026 was the latest date any country could allow, and it was not extended.
Is Binance MiCA-licensed?
No. Binance does not hold a MiCA CASP authorisation. It applied via Greece, then formally withdrew that application in June 2026 and suspended regulated services across the EU from 1 July 2026; it says it will seek authorisation via France. Always confirm the current position on the official ESMA register before trading.
