Is Nexo MiCA-licensed?
Status checked on 2 September 2026 against the official ESMA register
Nexo has an application in progress. It has no current MiCA CASP entry. Nexo filed a MiCA CASP application with Bulgaria’s Financial Supervision Commission in February 2026. As of 2 September 2026, no Nexo entity appeared in the ESMA CASP snapshot dated 20 August 2026. Nexo stated that it serves EEA clients through licensed partners while the application is under review.
Practical effect: CASP-specific MiCA protections are not established for this service until an authorisation is granted. Other permissions can apply to a separate entity. Verify the contracting entity.

Common questions
When will Nexo get its MiCA licence?
its national regulator decides the application and has not published a fixed completion date. Nexo becomes an authorised CASP only after a granted licence appears in the ESMA register.
Is Nexo regulated in the EU right now?
Nexo is not currently an authorised CASP. A pending application does not grant CASP authorisation. Do not assume that MiCA's CASP-specific conduct, safeguarding or complaints rules apply to the service. Another entity or product may have separate permissions, which you must check independently.
Is there a MiCA-licensed alternative to Nexo?
Yes. 51 of the exchanges we track have current MiCA register entries. The licensed list shows each mapped entity, regulator and entry date.
