Check a Platform
Search the EU register of authorised crypto-asset service providers, then check the register that covers your own country.
Do not have a name to search yet? Answer a few questions instead and we will narrow the register to the firms permitted to do what you want, where you are.

What This Checks
One thing: whether a firm appears on ESMA’s register of crypto-asset service providers authorised under the EU’s MiCA regime. We hold all 323 of them, across 26 member states, copied from ESMA’s own file (last updated 18 Aug 2026).
Appearing on it is a fact about a public register. It is not our opinion of the firm, and we do not have one. ESMA’s copy is the authoritative one — check there before you act on anything here.
Why There Is No Scam List Here
We can tell you a firm is on a register. We deliberately do not tell you a company is fraudulent, and it is worth saying why, because most sites in this field do.
We hold a dataset of company names and domains extracted from US court filings. When we read all of it rather than sampling it, most entries turned out not to be the subject of the case at all — they were email providers pulled from addresses in the document, law firms appearing as counsel, and companies that were theplaintiff. One was a blockchain investigations firm that had brought the case.
A record that a company was mentioned in a lawsuit is not a record that the company did anything wrong. Publishing it as though it were would have defamed a series of entirely legitimate businesses, and it would have made this site less trustworthy in exactly the way it is trying not to be. So it is not here, and it will not be until we can establish each company’s role in each case.
Registers Worth Checking Yourself
The authoritative sources, free, for every country we have checked. We link rather than copy them, so that what you read is current and is theirs. Each badge says how we checked the link, and anything we could not reach is not listed at all.

The Questions That Actually Protect You
No register catches a platform that was set up last month. These do more work than any lookup:
- Who contacted whom?If they found you — a message, a comment reply, a dating app, a group chat — that is the single strongest signal in all of this, and it does not depend on any database.
- Can you withdraw a small amount, today?A platform that pays out €50 without a new fee is behaving differently from one that does not. A demand for tax, verification or a release fee before you can withdraw is the fraud.
- Which authority, and what registration number?An authorised firm answers instantly and the number checks out on the regulator’s own site. Check the register yourself rather than a certificate they send you — certificates are trivially forged.
- Does the domain exactly match the register?Lookalike domains differing by one character, or by the ending, are the most common single trick.
- Are you being hurried?A closing window, a limited allocation, a price about to move. Urgency is a technique, not a fact about a market.
