MiCA authorisation found
Based on ESMA register data · Updated Jul 3, 2026
ESMA records show that Revolut Digital Assets (Europe) Ltd, operating as Revolut, holds an active crypto-asset service provider authorisation issued by Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) (Cyprus) on Oct 20, 2025. The current record includes at least one authorised service in Germany. Review the licence scope below to confirm which services are covered.
Self-custody is not regulated under MiCA. Your keys, your crypto, no licence required. Learn more
MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) is the EU framework that requires any company offering crypto-asset services to hold a CASP authorisation from a national regulator. The regulation took full effect on 30 June 2025, and the transitional period for existing providers ended on 1 July 2026.
An authorised status means the provider has met the regulatory requirements set by MiCA and is supervised by the competent authority in its home country. Through MiCA’s passporting mechanism, a licence granted in one EU member state can cover all 27 EU countries plus the EEA.
However, authorisation is a regulatory status, not a safety guarantee. A licensed provider can still face financial difficulties, technical failures, or future regulatory action. The only way to eliminate counterparty risk entirely is to hold your private keys yourself.
If a provider is not found in the register, that does not automatically mean it is operating illegally. The ESMA register is updated periodically, not in real time. Some providers may hold licences under legal entities that are not yet mapped in this dataset, or they may be operating under transitional arrangements.
Whether your provider is authorised or not, self-custody changes one fundamental thing: who controls the private keys
Cross-check the result with the ESMA register and the provider’s own MiCA notice. Regulatory data can lag, and this checker may not reflect the very latest changes. The ESMA register and your provider’s official communications are the definitive sources.
A self-custody wallet gives you direct control of your private keys and assets. Unlike exchange accounts, it does not depend on any provider’s licence status, financial health, or operational decisions. Self-custody wallets are explicitly outside the scope of MiCA — no CASP licence, registration, or KYC is required to use one in the EU.
Before moving a large balance, send a small amount to your wallet to confirm the network, address format, and arrival time. Double-check the blockchain network on both sides — sending on the wrong network is the most common cause of lost funds. Once the test arrives, transfer the rest.

MiCA regulates the companies that hold your crypto on your behalf. It does not regulate you holding your own. Tangem is a hardware wallet that stores your private keys on a secure chip inside a physical card. There is no seed phrase to write down or lose. Your keys never leave the card, and no third party — including Tangem — can access or freeze your assets. Because you hold the keys directly, no CASP licence is needed. Whether your exchange is fully authorised, partially restricted, or absent from the register entirely, self-custody means your assets stay under your control regardless of any provider’s regulatory status.
This checker uses data from the ESMA interim MiCA register, specifically the authorised CASPs file (CASPS.csv) and the non-compliant entities file (NCASP.csv), both published on the official ESMA website. The register includes crypto-asset service providers that have received authorisation under MiCA from national competent authorities across the EU and the EEA.
Each provider in the dataset is mapped to one or more legal entities in the ESMA register by verified domain, exact legal entity name, or confirmed commercial brand. This mapping is curated manually and reviewed with each data update. The checker does not automatically match similar names or assume that brands with shared terminology are the same legal entity.
The status shown is calculated from the current dataset at the moment you check. It reflects what the data contains, not a legal opinion on the provider’s compliance. If your company isn’t on the list, it means we don’t have it in the dataset. A “manual review” result means the records are ambiguous and an automated result would be unreliable.
The dataset is reviewed at least weekly. Between reviews, provider announcements or regulatory actions may occur that are not yet reflected. Each result displays the data date so you can assess how current the information is.
This checker covers a curated set of providers, not every crypto-asset service provider in the world. The ESMA register itself is interim and non-exhaustive. Data may lag behind real events by days or weeks. The non-compliant entities register does not claim to list every unauthorised provider. This checker is an informational starting point, not a replacement for your own due diligence.
This checker is for general information only and may not reflect the latest regulatory or service changes. A provider’s absence from the data is not, by itself, proof that it is unauthorised. Verify the provider’s own notice and the relevant regulator. This is not legal, investment or financial advice.
