AI overview

On 19 October 2026, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published an updated MiCA register, increasing the total number of registered crypto‑asset service providers (CASPs) to 375. The update added three new entrants: the exchange platform BingX, the multi‑asset wallet provider YouHodler, and Banco Santander’s Openbank. This expansion reflects ESMA’s ongoing effort to broaden oversight of crypto‑asset services across the EU. The register now lists a broader range of services, from trading and custody to wallet and payment solutions, underscoring the growing diversity of the crypto‑asset market. While the update signals a tightening of regulatory compliance, it also highlights the rapid pace at which new providers are entering the European market, prompting discussions about the adequacy of existing supervisory frameworks and the need for continued adaptation to emerging business models.
