Editorial review: every entry re-checked against the 20 August register snapshot
Cross-checked all 105 tracked exchanges against the ESMA CASP snapshot dated 20 August 2026 by brand, legal entity and domain. No tracked exchange changed MiCA status. Re-checked the pending and restricting rows against first-party pages: Binance, Bitget, Nexo, Uphold, Zonda and KuCoin keep their status. Luno closed its affected European accounts on 1 September 2026, so its entry now describes the completed exit. Time-sensitive notes carry dated anchors, the Binance entry cites primary sources, and every directory row is now in the page HTML for crawlers. Details → - 20 August 2026
ESMA register reaches 335 records with eleven new legal entities
Refreshed ESMA’s official CASP snapshot to 335 source records covering 330 legal entities, of which 328 are current. Eleven legal entities were added since the 31 July snapshot: ten German cooperative banks with execution-of-orders scope (Volksbank, Raiffeisenbank and VR Bank entities) and Partners Banka in the Czech Republic with reception and transmission scope. Altlift s.r.o. in the Czech Republic left the register without an end date. Deutsche WertpapierService Bank AG widened its scope from execution only to custody, exchange and transfer services. ESMA also corrected the brand shown on 360 Treasury Systems AG, which earlier displayed flatexDEGIRO Bank AG. No exchange tracked on this site changed MiCA status. The EMT white-paper list gained Bridge Building S.A. in Luxembourg and Dinaro in Slovenia. Details → - 31 July 2026

Full re-verification: CoinJar upgraded to licensed, KuCoin corrected, register facts backfilled
Verified every licensed entry against ESMA’s official register file and regulator sources. CoinJar was missing its December 2025 CASP authorisation for CoinJar Europe from the Central Bank of Ireland, so we corrected its status. We updated KuCoin’s FMA restriction because the new-business ban ended on 18 May 2026 but the operations bar remains. We also fixed the licence year for N26, flatexDEGIRO, Amdax, 21bitcoin and Blockchain.com. The update adds exact legal entities and service scopes for every licensed entry and marks AscendEX and ProBit as ceased operations. Details → - 7 July 2026
