ESMA confirmed in April 2026 that there is no extension to this deadline. It is written into the regulation&#8217;s text and is binding on all 27 member states simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the EU crypto market has already moved to licensed venues. Roughly 70% of EU crypto transaction volume flows through CASP-authorised platforms as of May 2026. But 30% does not. If you are part of that 30%, what happens on July 1 and where your funds sit matters right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article covers the full list of CASP-authorised exchanges, which platforms have been banned or are pending, and what the deadline means for your funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a CASP Authorised Exchange?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"text-bg-color\" id=\"block_fec10e340422378311a9526b71f21e61\">\r    <div class=\"text-bg-color__content\">\r                <p>A CASP-authorised exchange is a crypto platform that has passed a full regulatory review by a national financial authority in the EU and received formal authorisation to operate under MiCA. It is not a registration. It is not a notification. It is an authorisation.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\r<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The distinction matters because it determines what protections apply to your funds. A CASP authorised exchange is legally required to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hold client funds separately from the company&#8217;s own assets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show all fees before you confirm a transaction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respond to complaints through a formal, regulated process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain minimum capital reserves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit to ongoing regulatory supervision<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>None of these protections are guaranteed on a platform that holds only a legacy VASP registration or national crypto authorisation that predates MiCA. For more on what the <a href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/blog\/glossary\/casp-crypto-asset-service-provider\/\">CASP licence<\/a> involves and how it differs from older registration regimes, the full glossary entry covers the detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Exchanges Are Currently CASP Authorised?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As of May 2026, 14 centralised exchanges hold full CASP authorisation. 204 entities are authorised across all CASP service categories, including custodians, payment processors, brokers, and portfolio managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Major exchanges with confirmed CASP authorisation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n#pb-exchange-regulator {\n  all: revert;\n  font-family: 'Graphik', 'Inter', 'Segoe UI', system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif;\n  box-sizing: border-box;\n}\n#pb-exchange-regulator *, #pb-exchange-regulator *::before, #pb-exchange-regulator *::after { box-sizing: border-box;

Commerzbank, N26, Trade Republic, Baader Bank, and Clearstream all hold authorisation in Germany and Luxembourg, reflecting how conventional banking has started entering the licensed crypto space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every authorised CASP is authorised for every service. <a href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/blog\/glossary\/mica\/\">MiCA<\/a> defines ten categories of crypto-asset services, from exchange and custody to portfolio management and advisory. Each entity&#8217;s authorisation specifies exactly which services it can legally provide. Checking the scope matters as much as confirming the authorisation exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which EU Countries Have Issued the Most CASP Licences?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Germany leads the total CASP count.<\/strong> Its authorisations are concentrated in regulated banks and institutional custodians rather than crypto-native exchanges. BaFin&#8217;s process is thorough, German-language, and slow, which has filtered for established financial institutions over newer entrants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Malta is the hub for large crypto exchanges.<\/strong> OKX, Crypto.com, Gemini, and Bitpanda all authorised through the MFSA. Malta&#8217;s deep experience with crypto licensing predates MiCA by several years, which gives its regulator and local banking sector familiarity with the sector that others lack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Luxembourg attracted global brands seeking rapid EU-wide passporting.<\/strong> Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Clearstream all chose Luxembourg, drawn by its capital-markets infrastructure and efficient processing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Netherlands<\/strong> holds a strong mix of crypto-native and payments-focused businesses, including Bitvavo, MoonPay, and Amdax. Several secured first-day approvals when the CASP regime opened.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Czech Republic<\/strong> is the fastest-moving story of 2026. It had zero authorised CASPs in February and had reached seven by May. The CNB accepts applications in English and processes them quickly, which has made Prague an increasingly attractive base for lean operators.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Estonia<\/strong> has seen the sharpest reversal. Once home to thousands of VASP-registered businesses under the old light-touch framework, it now holds just one MiCA-authorised CASP. Legacy registrations do not convert automatically and must be requalified in full under MiCA&#8217;s stricter standards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Exchanges Are Leaving the EU or Have Been Banned?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The July 1 deadline has divided the market into those who have authorisation and those who cannot or will not get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>KuCoin<\/strong> was formally banned by Austria&#8217;s FMA in February 2026 for operating without MiCA authorisation. The ban followed a period in which KuCoin had continued serving EU users under transitional arrangements that did not hold up to the FMA&#8217;s scrutiny.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Binance<\/strong> filed its CASP application in Greece in January 2026. The application is still under review and has not yet appeared as confirmed in ESMA&#8217;s public register. Until it does, Binance operates in the EU without full CASP authorisation. Under ESMA rules, grandfathered entities do not receive EU passporting rights. Without passporting, Binance cannot lawfully offer services across all 27 member states from a single authorisation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>18% of crypto platforms that operated in the EU have shut down or exited the market<\/strong> since MiCA enforcement tightened, according to coinlaw.io data from April 2026. At least 30 smaller platforms have confirmed EU exits, citing the compliance costs of governance upgrades, capital requirements, and ongoing reporting obligations as unsustainable at their scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining 30% of EU transaction volume that does not yet flow through authorised venues is concentrated in platforms still relying on transitional arrangements that expire on July 1. Users on those platforms have a shrinking window to move funds to an authorised alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens to Your Funds If Your Exchange Is Not Authorised?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"text-bg-color\" id=\"block_6b08af46f139ed1d8e248a86034c2c69\">\r    <div class=\"text-bg-color__content\">\r                <p>After July 1, an exchange without CASP authorisation must immediately stop serving EU clients. That can mean frozen withdrawals, suspended trading, and a race to recover funds from a platform in wind-down.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\r<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The timeline can move faster than users expect. When a platform receives an enforcement notice, it may halt services before giving adequate notice. The fund recovery process depends entirely on whether the platform follows an orderly wind-down or collapses under the weight of user withdrawals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specific risk for users:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No fund segregation protection.<\/strong> CASP authorisation mandates that client assets are held separately from company funds. Without it, there is no legal requirement for this protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No formal complaints route.<\/strong> Authorised CASPs must maintain a regulated complaint process. Unlicensed platforms have no equivalent obligation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No ongoing regulatory oversight.<\/strong> An authorised exchange is supervised. An unlicensed one is not, and regulatory intervention only comes after the fact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your exchange is not on the authorised list and July 1 is close, the safest action is to withdraw your funds to a self-custody wallet or move them to an authorised platform before the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Check If Your Exchange Is CASP Authorised?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"text-bg-color\" id=\"block_048f0456efff82310017765a72f73313\">\r    <div class=\"text-bg-color__content\">\r                <p><strong>ESMA publishes the official interim MiCA register of all authorised CASPs.<\/strong> It is updated regularly and is the authoritative source for confirming authorisation status.
