ESMA adds 15 crypto service providers to the MiCA registry, including a subsidiary of BNY Mellon

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) updated the temporary MiCA registration list on Friday, adding 15 licensed Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASP), bringing the total to 309. The newly added institutions include BNY SA/NV, the Belgian subsidiary of the American banking giant BNY Mellon.

The new list includes 4 banking institutions, of which 3 are from Germany, along with digital asset platforms such as BitPay, Coinify, and Bleap. Germany and Denmark each added 3 CASPs, Bulgaria and Latvia each added 2, and Belgium, Cyprus, Liechtenstein, and the Netherlands each added 1. ESMA stated that this update did not change other MiCA-related registration lists, including Asset-Referenced Tokens (ART), Electronic Money Tokens (EMT), and authorized issuers of crypto assets, as well as the list of non-compliant entities. Previously, after the transition period deadline on July 1, ESMA's second update had added 14 CASPs, including Ripple Payments Europe.
