ESMA Adds 12 New Companies to MiCA Crypto Register

The European Securities and Markets Authority has expanded its list of authorized crypto firms under the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework, marking its fourth update since the regulation’s transitional deadline passed.

Registered CASPs Now Total 321

The update, published July 31, brought 12 new crypto asset service providers onto the MiCA register, raising the total number of authorized firms to 321. Among the newest additions are three German cooperative banks, Volksbank Raiffeisenbank Oberbayern Südost, VR Bank Schleswig-Holstein Mitte, and VR-Bank Landau-Mengkofen. Spain contributed two companies, Basque Pay and Fintech Payments, while France added four firms: Finary, Woorton, Blockchain Process Security, and Shares Financial Assets.

Non-Compliant List Also Grows

Alongside the new approvals, ESMA flagged three additional companies as non-compliant: Cervo Rendisco, Flandenzo, and Corona Fondenza. These firms were identified by Italy’s securities regulator, CONSOB. With these additions, the non-compliant entities register now totals 167 companies.

Other Registers Remain Unchanged

The latest update did not affect other MiCA-related categories. The number of authorized e-money token issuers stayed steady at 41, while the asset-referenced token issuer register continues to show no listed companies.
