Is Bitfinex MiCA-licensed?
Status checked on 2 August 2026 against the official ESMA register
We could not confirm Bitfinex's MiCA status from public sources. A search of the dated ESMA snapshot for the Bitfinex brand and domain found no matching current entry. We did not independently verify the contracting entity or any separate EEA permission.
Practical effect: Do not assume CASP-specific MiCA protections apply until you can verify the legal entity and service in the ESMA register.
