EEA (ESMA) CASP Authorisation Update (03 July 2026)

03 July 2026 EEA (ESMA) CASP Authorisation Update

When we last posted on 01 July 2026 the number of EEA CASPs was 243. Jump forward two days and the number of authorised CASPs has increased 16%.

The ESMA Interim MiCAR Register showing as of 900am Wednesday 3 July 2026 (last updated same day) records that 281 CASPs have been authorised in an EEA Member State. That is an increase of 38 CASPs since previous ESMA register as at 26 June 2026).

While some expected to see Binance obtain authorisation in Greece on Monday 29th June 2026 this week, according to numerous media sources, pressure from firstly the French President, and then secondly a phone call from the President of the ECB (who coincidentally happens to be French) to The Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis killed Binance’s licence. How surprising then will it be to see Binance ending up authorised as a CASP in France?

The new CASPs recorded as at 03 July 2026 (since 26 June register) are:

• Cyprus (6) - Ronin EM Ltd; Krypto Knight Ltd; TRIA BRIDGE LIMITED (ex Tokenomica Bridge Ltd); NOEMON TECH LTD; Unlimit Crypto Ltd; COMPLYCRYPTO DEPOSITORY EU LIMITED
