This restriction is driving companies to accelerate their licensing efforts.<\/p>\n<p>However, Hansen identified some key gaps, such as the fact that no asset-referenced token (ART) issuers have yet been authorized.<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that regulators have received only about 25 white papers for digital assets that do not fall under EMT or ART classifications. This covers large-cap tokens such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As a sign of increasing enforcement, Italy's financial authority, CONSOB, has added 15 names to its list of non-compliant entities, reflecting growing scrutiny under the new framework.<\/p>\n<h2>Licensed stablecoin issuers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"1257\">Since MiCA took effect, 11 stablecoin issuers from six EU countries have been approved to issue e-money tokens (EMTs). So far, regulators have authorized 16 EMTs, 10 pegged to the euro and six to the US dollar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"1257\">The list of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/circle-becomes-first-stablecoin-issuer-to-secure-regulatory-approval-under-mica\/\">approved entities includes Circle (issuer of USDC)<\/a>, Banking Circle, Fiat Republic, Quantoz Payments, Membrane Finance, Salvus, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/societe-generales-eurcv-looks-to-solana-for-stablecoin-success-after-paypals-pyusd-rise\/\">Societe Generale<\/a>, StablR, Stablemint, and Schuman Financial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1574\">Meanwhile, Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin USDT, remains absent from the list. Its failure to comply with MiCA standards has led to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/crypto-com-to-delist-usdt-and-other-tokens-to-comply-with-mica\/\">delistings from several EU-based exchanges<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1574\">However, Tether has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/tether-answers-to-mica-compliance-hurdles-with-hadron-and-quantoz\/\">touted its Handron platform<\/a> and investment in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/tether-invests-in-dutch-firm-to-launch-mica-compliant-stablecoins\/\">Quantoz Payments<\/a> as its answer to the regulatory challenge.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1574\">MiCA-compliant CASPs<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"2000\">On the CASP front, ESMA has listed 15 authorized providers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"2000\">These include major <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/crypto-com-obtains-new-mica-license-to-officially-service-european-customers\/\">crypto platforms like Crypto.com,<\/a> OKX, Bitpanda, eToro, and Crypto Finance, alongside traditional financial institutions like BBVA, Clearstream, and Flatex.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"2000\">Notably, some previously listed firms, such as MoonPay and Hidden Road, no longer appear on the registry. This could suggest changes in their status or ongoing regulatory review.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"2000\">Germany currently leads the region with six licensed CASPs, followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/okx-malta-hub-gains-mica-pre-authorization-for-european-expansion\/\">Malta with five.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One hundred days after the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework took effect, most of the crypto industry is still racing to catch up.
