BNY Mellon unit joins MiCA register as ESMA adds 15 providers

Latest NewsPublishedJul 27, 2026

European Crypto Regulation Takes Shape with MiCA Register Updates

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has added 15 new crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) to the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework register, bringing the total to 309 licensed providers. This update includes a BNY Mellon unit, as well as banks and digital asset platforms such as BitPay and Coinify. The continued growth of the MiCA register is a significant step towards regulating the crypto industry in the European Union.

The latest additions to the register include four banking institutions, highlighting the increasing involvement of traditional financial institutions in the crypto space. Germany and Denmark accounted for the largest number of new additions, with three new CASPs registered in each country. As the MiCA framework continues to evolve, it is likely that we will see more traditional financial institutions, such as those offering Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto solutions, become involved in the crypto industry.

Implications for the Crypto Industry

The MiCA register updates demonstrate the ongoing efforts of European regulators to bring oversight to the crypto sector. While this increased regulation may provide more clarity and security for investors, it also raises concerns about the potential costs for smaller firms. Some industry executives warn that the cost of maintaining a MiCA license could push smaller companies out of the market, making it harder for individuals to access Passive Income opportunities through EcoPool or other platforms.

As the crypto industry continues to grow and evolve, it is essential for individuals to stay informed about the latest developments and regulations. With the rise of Earning opportunities through Coin and $ECP, it is crucial to understand the implications of regulatory updates on the industry.

MiCA expansion continues after July deadline

The latest update follows ESMA’s previous register additions after the July 1 deadline, including 14 CASPs added in the regulator’s second post-deadline update, which included major industry companies such as Ripple Payments Europe.

While the CASP roster expanded, ESMA reported no changes to other MiCA-related registers in the latest update, including authorized issuers of asset-referenced tokens (ARTs), e-money tokens (EMTs), and crypto assets, as well as non-compliant entities.

The continued updates show that MiCA implementation remains an evolving process, with regulators still adding authorized providers as companies complete licensing procedures across European markets.

At the same time, some industry executives warn that the cost of maintaining a MiCA license could push smaller firms out of the market, with Gate Europe CEO Giovanni Cunti saying some licensed companies may struggle to sustain the compliance resources required over the long term.
