EU Banks Double Their MiCA Presence to 80
Banks now make up nearly 23% of MiCA-listed crypto providers as the total number of registered firms climbed to 349, ESMA data show.
- Banks have doubled their presence on the European Union MiCA register to about 80 institutions in less than three months, raising their share of listed crypto providers to nearly 23%.
- Unlike specialized crypto firms requiring full CASP authorization, traditional lenders use a separate notification procedure under MiCA, providing a faster regulatory route into the framework.
- Germany is driving the expansion, with Deutsche Bank announcing digital asset custody plans on Wednesday; numerous Volksbank and Raiffeisenbank institutions have also joined the register.
- Non-Bank providers added approximately 66 entries during the same period, yet their market share fell from about 84% to 77% as banks entered the regulated European Union sector at a faster rate.
- The European Securities and Markets Authority publishes weekly updates to the register, ensuring newly approved or notified providers appear promptly as institutions navigate the evolving EU-wide regulatory environment.
