Check a crypto platform (MiCA register)

Daniel Platteau

In short: type the name of a platform or of the company that runs it. The tool searches the ESMA MiCA register and tells you whether it is authorised, by which authority, for which services, and whether it may serve Belgium. It also flags in red the entities ESMA lists as non-compliant.

Also check the FSMA. A platform may appear in its warnings, and a clone may copy the name of an authorised firm: compare the website address. Not being on the lists is not a guarantee. FSMA warnings

How to read the result

  • MiCA-authorised (CASP): the company received a crypto-asset service provider authorisation from an EU authority.
  • Authorised by notification (Art. 60): a bank, investment firm or e-money institution, already authorised for something else, has notified its crypto services. This is a legal route, just like authorisation.
  • Belgium in the passport: "yes" means the company has declared it may operate in Belgium. A platform authorised in another country can serve Belgians thanks to the European passport.
  • Flagged as non-compliant: a national authority has stated that this entity offers crypto services without authorisation. Do not send it money.

What the tool does not tell you

"Not found" does not mean "not authorised". The register uses the company's legal name, not always the brand: try the name shown in the terms and conditions. Conversely, being in the register does not guarantee that the website you are visiting is the right one: fraudsters copy the names of authorised firms. Compare the website address and check the FSMA warnings.

The tool uses a copy of the register refreshed every week. Only the ESMA register is authoritative. To understand what authorisation protects, and what it does not, read our article Is my crypto platform authorised?.
