The MiCA CASP Tracker: Now Shows EMI and PSP Licences Held by Authorised CASPs
The MiCA Crypto Alliance is expanding the MiCA CASP Tracker. Since its launch on 5 August, the Tracker has offered a searchable directory of every Crypto-Asset Service Provider authorised under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, making it straightforward to identify and verify authorised firms. We have now added a new layer of information: where an authorised CASP also holds an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) or Payment Service Provider (PSP) licence, the Tracker displays it alongside the firm's CASP status.
What's new
For any CASP profile where the firm also holds an EMI and/or PSP authorisation, the Tracker now shows the licence. This sits alongside the existing MiCA profile details: company name and LEI, country of authorisation, competent authority, authorisation status, MiCA authorisation date, and licensed MiCA services.
Source of Information
CASP authorisation data continues to be sourced from the official ESMA Register, which the Alliance monitors and updates the Tracker against as new authorisations appear. The EMI and PSP licence information is sourced from the EBA's EUCLID Register, with the Tracker refreshed daily against the latest available data.
Why this matters
Many crypto-asset service providers rely on payment or e-money infrastructure to operate, and a growing number hold these licences directly rather than through a third party. Seeing this alongside CASP status gives a fuller picture of a firm's regulatory footprint. That is useful for assessing the operational resilience of counterparties, partners evaluating integrations, and researchers mapping the wider payments-and-crypto perimeter, and it supports the verification and due diligence work the Tracker was built for.
Scope and Regulatory Context
EMI and PSP licences sit under separate regulatory frameworks from MiCA and are granted nationally. They may not correspond to the same jurisdiction as the firm's CASP authorisation.
The MiCA CASP Tracker is an independent research tool developed by the Alliance using publicly available data. The official ESMA Register remains the authoritative source for CASP authorisation status; EMI and PSP licence information should be verified against the EBA’s EUCLID Register or the relevant national competent authority's own register.
Who it is for
The Tracker is designed for anyone who needs to verify a firm's regulatory status, and the new EMI and PSP layer makes it more useful for several groups in particular:
- Compliance and legal teams can check a counterparty's CASP authorisation and any payment or e-money licences it holds in one place, then confirm the details with the relevant authority.
- Crypto businesses and financial institutions can assess potential partners and integrations with a clearer view of each firm's regulatory footprint.
- Regulators, researchers and investors can map how CASPs and the wider payments perimeter overlap across Member States.
- Journalists can quickly establish what a firm is and is not licensed to do.
Whether you are running due diligence, mapping the market in a particular jurisdiction, or simply checking a firm's credentials, the Tracker turns scattered public information into a structured reference.
