The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has updated its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) register, adding nine new crypto-asset service providers. This expansion brings the total number of registered entities to 375.
Among the new additions are the Austrian entity of the crypto exchange BingX, known as MEGE zweite, and the Italian subsidiary of the crypto lending platform YouHodler. YouHodler is now authorized to provide custody, crypto exchange, order execution, and transfer services.
Other companies added to the register include the Spanish firm Prakma Markets, which is linked to the Goin application. The German banking sector also saw additions, including Openbank Deutschland, a subsidiary of Banco Santander, and cooperative lenders VR-Bank Alb-Blau-Donau and VR Bank im südlichen Franken.
While the register grew, some entities were removed. Penning Financial Services from Denmark is no longer listed, despite having appeared in previous updates since July 3. The registry for non-compliant service providers also expanded, increasing by five entries to a total of 178.
The status of other registries remains stable. The e-money token register holds 50 entries across 25 unique entities, while the asset-referenced token register remains empty.
