Current entries

MiCA-licensed crypto exchanges

We map 51 exchanges to current entries in the ESMA MiCA register. An entry can use Article 63 authorisation or an eligible Article 60 notification route. We list active supervisory restrictions separately and hide outbound Visit links for restricted firms.

Consumer exchange list: we map exchange brands to the registered EEA legal entity that provides the service. For banks, brokers, payment firms and all other current MiCA entities, search the full ESMA CASP register.

Current MiCA exchange entries, verified against the ESMA register

Referral disclosure: some Visit buttons below are sponsored referral links. We may earn a commission if you use one. We include every exchange brand that we map to a current MiCA register entry. We sort the list alphabetically. Affiliate relationships do not affect inclusion or order. We keep restricted firms in the list and hide their outbound Visit links.

Looking for the others? See exchanges without a verified current entry or the full filterable exchange directory. If a platform points to an offshore registration, first read why an SVG registration is not a MiCA licence.

Home states in the register

Article 65 lets a firm authorised under Article 63 notify its authorised services in other EEA states. Eligible Article 60 entities use the framework for their route. We do not assume that every platform has notified every host state. The table shows only the home-state entry for the 51 platforms we track. We order home states by the number of tracked entries and use the ISO country code for ties:

How we verify this list

We use the ESMA snapshot as primary evidence and may also use an authority notice or a company announcement. We check each mapped entry against the official ESMA register. We record the registered EEA legal entity, the reporting or supervising authority and the entry date. The register lists legal entities, not brands. We publish corrections in the changelog. We reviewed the page on 11 August 2026. The ESMA snapshot is dated 31 July 2026. The same data is free to reuse as open JSON. EU MiCA’s original compilation and editorial fields are available under CC BY 4.0. ESMA-derived fields remain subject to the ESMA register reuse conditions.

Common questions

What is the difference between "MiCA-compliant", "MiCA-approved" and "MiCA-licensed"?

"Compliant" and "approved" are often loose marketing terms. On this site, "MiCA-licensed" means that the mapped EEA entity has a current entry in the ESMA MiCA register for crypto-asset services. The entry can use Article 63 authorisation or an eligible Article 60 notification route. Check each entity's legal basis.

What does "MiCA-licensed" actually mean?

The named EEA entity has a current ESMA MiCA register entry for specific crypto-asset services. The entry uses Article 63 authorisation or an eligible Article 60 notification route. MiCA applies conduct and complaints rules. Safeguarding depends on which service and entity hold the assets or funds. Custody liability covers attributable loss and is capped under Article 75.

Is a licensed exchange automatically safe?

A licence provides supervision and does not guarantee safety. Crypto-assets can lose value, and MiCA has no deposit-guarantee scheme. Confirm that the registered EEA entity provides the product you use. Conduct, safeguarding and liability rules depend on the entity and service.

Does a licence cover everything an exchange offers?

A register entry covers one to ten recorded MiCA services. High-leverage perpetual futures are generally outside that service list. A firm needs separate MiFID II permissions to offer them to EEA retail customers. Check the service scope on each detail page.

Can a licence be restricted after it is granted?

Yes, supervision continues after authorisation. Austria’s FMA restricted licensed KuCoin EU in February 2026 but did not revoke the licence. We give each entry a verification date and links to primary sources.
