Rankings / MiCA-certified

MiCA-certified exchange watchlist

The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation creates a single rulebook for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). This page highlights the compliance-relevant venues from our 43-exchange ranking, but you should still verify current authorisation in your own country before depositing funds.

What MiCA covers

Authorisation of crypto exchanges, custodians, brokers and stablecoin issuers across the EU, with rules on capital, governance, conflicts of interest and consumer protection.

Why it matters

A MiCA-licensed venue must safeguard client assets, publish whitepapers for listed assets and meet ongoing reporting duties — reducing (not eliminating) counterparty risk.

What it does not do

MiCA does not protect you from market volatility, smart-contract bugs on DeFi, or losing your password. It also doesn't mean an exchange is "risk-free".

MiCA-relevant exchanges we track

Includes exchanges with full MiCA authorisation, EU registrations, or transitional / national CASP relevance. This is an educational watchlist, not legal advice.
