Frequently asked questions
What does it mean if an exchange is "MiCA-licensed"?
EU MiCA uses this label when the named EEA legal entity has a current entry in the ESMA register for crypto-asset services. The entry can use an Article 63 authorisation or an eligible Article 60 notification. Article 65 lets a firm notify other host states. The home entry does not prove which states or services the firm has notified.
When did MiCA come into force?
MiCA’s stablecoin rules applied from 30 June 2024. The CASP rules applied from 30 December 2024. Member states could give existing firms a transitional period of up to 18 months. The final window closed on 1 July 2026.
Is the MiCA deadline the same in every EU country?
No. Each member state set its own transitional window of up to 18 months. Ireland closed after 30 December 2025, and Germany closed after 31 December 2025. The Netherlands and several other states used shorter windows. No window could continue after 1 July 2026.
Is Binance MiCA-licensed?
No. Binance has no current MiCA register entry. It applied through Greece, withdrew the application in June 2026 and announced service restrictions for affected users in several EU markets. Binance said it would seek authorisation in another member state, which it has not named. Confirm the current position in the official ESMA register before trading.
