Every Nation, Every Register

Which countries keep an official register of crypto-asset firms, what a listing on each one actually proves, and — just as plainly — where we have not looked yet.

“Registered” Is Not One Thing

This is the whole reason this page exists. A firm can be on an official government register for reasons that have almost nothing to do with how it will treat your money, and every one of them gets called “registered” in ordinary speech.

The United Kingdom is the clearest example. A firm on the FCA’s cryptoasset register is registered under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 — it is supervised for its anti-money-laundering controls. That is notauthorisation to advise you, to trade on your behalf, or to hold your assets, and the UK has no equivalent of the EU’s MiCA regime in force. A firm can be legitimately on that register while nothing about how it treats your investment has been examined by anyone.

Compare that with the EU register we do hold, where each permission — holding your coins, selling them to you, advising you — is granted separately and named. Reading those two as the same word is the mistake this board is built to prevent.

What a Blank Means Here

Most boards of this kind have two states: we have it, or we do not. That invites you to read a blank as “no register exists”, when it usually means nobody has checked. Nearly every country on earth has a financial regulator, so an absence is a claim — and a claim needs a search that was actually finished.

So there are three states, and not established is the honest majority one. Where we have looked, the board shows what was tried and what was found, so you can see the shape of what we do not know rather than inherit a conclusion.

What Even the Strongest Licence Leaves Out

The EU register is the best-evidenced one we hold, and it still does not mean what most people assume. MiCA authorises a closed list of ten named services, and anything not on that list is simply outside the licence.

Lending, borrowing, staking and “earn” products are not on the list at all. A firm holding a full MiCA authorisation that offers you a yield product is running that product outside its authorisation, not under it. This is the single most consequential gap for a consumer, because earn products are where money is most often lost.
Crypto derivatives and futures are excluded — they fall under separate financial-instrument rules, not MiCA.
Stablecoin issuance is a different authorisation entirely. ESMA publishes issuers in separate files that we do not hold, so a properly authorised stablecoin issuer will never appear in our copy.
NFTs are out. The Regulation does not apply to crypto-assets that are unique and not fungible with others.

One thing did get simpler. Until 1 July 2026 a firm could serve EEA clients lawfully under a transitional regime while absent from the register — so absence proved nothing. That window has now closed in every member state, which means absence today is a meaningful signal in a way it was not a few months ago.

Four EU states have no home-authorised firm of their own: Greece, Hungary, Poland and Romania. Poland is the notable one — its implementing law has not passed, so its regulator cannot grant an authorisation at all. A Polish firm without one is not necessarily doing anything wrong; there is nothing for it to hold.

75 jurisdictions listed, of 195 UN member states. The rest are not on this board at all, which means the same thing as “not established” — we have not looked yet.

Guernsey requires a full VASP LICENCE for anyone providing virtual asset services in or from the Bailiwick, and a licensed provider is additionally subject to anti-money-laundering supervision. So Guernsey certifies licence plus AML, where Jersey and the Isle of Man certify AML registration alone.

TWO DIFFERENT THINGS ON ONE ISLAND, and they must not be merged. A DLT Provider licence is a full authorisation for firms using distributed ledger technology to store or transmit value belonging to others — roughly 13 hold one. A SEPARATE VASP registration exists for virtual-asset businesses caught by proceeds-of-crime law, and that one is anti-money-laundering only. A consumer must be told which they are looking at. Post-Brexit Gibraltar is outside the EEA: neither confers an EU passport.

Anti-money-laundering only. Supervised for money-laundering controls. NOT a licence to advise, to trade for you, or to hold your money.
THE CLEAREST "LOOKS LIKE MORE THAN IT IS" CASE IN THIS SET. A business carrying on convertible virtual currency activity registers as a DESIGNATED BUSINESS — anti-money-laundering oversight, explicitly NOT a licence and not prudential regulation. The register lets you filter by business type, and Designated Business is a distinct type from the licensed categories, so the distinction is visible in the data if the type field is carried through. Firms routinely market Isle of Man registration as though it were an Isle of Man licence.

Purely anti-money-laundering. Providers, onshore and offshore, must register as Reporting Entities under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002. It confers NO investor protection and no conduct supervision — India has no securities-style crypto licensing regime. About 50 registered on recent reporting, and the count has grown steadily, so any figure must carry its date. 'Not on the list' can mean unregistered OR under enforcement.

JURISDICTION IN TRANSITION, the most volatile entry here. Supervision of crypto assets transferred from the commodity-futures regulator to the financial services authority on 10 January 2025, with handover running to about January 2027. Crypto was historically regulated as a COMMODITY. At handover there were 16 licensed traders plus 14 prospective ones, and existing licences remain valid — so a firm may legitimately show a licence issued by a regulator that no longer supervises it, and 'licensed' versus 'prospective' must not be flattened.

The sharpest contrast with the UK in this dataset.

Stablecoin issuers and security-token businesses sit on different FSA lists.

Cayman runs TWO tiers and conflating them is the trap. Baseline REGISTRATION under the VASP Act has been open since 31 October 2020 (about 19 registered VASPs as of February 2026). Phase 2 LICENSING took effect 1 April 2025: a firm providing virtual-asset custody or operating a trading platform must now hold a full CIMA licence, not merely be registered. "Registered with CIMA" is materially weaker than "licensed by CIMA".

Securities only. Registered for securities activity, which may not cover crypto-assets.
The cleanest securities case anywhere in this dataset. Malaysia PRESCRIBES digital currencies and tokens as securities by order, so exchanges are registered as Recognized Market Operators under capital-markets law. Six were registered as of December 2025. The same list family also covers crowdfunding and peer-to-peer operators, and custodians sit on separate lists — so 'SC-registered' alone does not say which activity is permitted. The central bank does NOT license crypto exchanges.

It confers NO right to solicit or serve EU consumers and is not MiCA-equivalent. Firms marketing to Europeans on the strength of it are overstating it.

Anti-money-laundering only. Supervised for money-laundering controls. NOT a licence to advise, to trade for you, or to hold your money.
New Zealand has deliberately NOT created a standalone crypto licensing regime. A crypto firm must appear on the FSPR, which is a public DIRECTORY — registration does not mean the FMA has assessed, approved or supervises the firm. Anti-money-laundering supervision sits with a different department entirely. The FSPR has historically been abused by offshore firms for the appearance of New Zealand regulation, so treating an entry as authorisation is a known consumer harm.

Securities only. Registered for securities activity, which may not cover crypto-assets.
IMPORTANT NEGATIVE. Qatar's 2024 digital-asset and investment-token rules cover INVESTMENT AND SECURITY TOKENS and explicitly EXCLUDE cryptocurrencies and most stablecoins. So an entry here can never certify a firm to provide ordinary crypto exchange, brokerage or custody — that activity is outside the framework entirely. A firm claiming to be "Qatar regulated for crypto" is almost certainly misrepresenting a token-securities permission.

Africa's most substantive crypto register.

So a listing proves conduct authorisation plus AML supervision, but it is not prudential supervision and does not guarantee client assets. As at 31 March 2026: 533 applications received, 310 approved, 17 declined.

Genuine activity-specific authorisation, not anti-money-laundering registration — 56 entries at time of reading, with granular activities (broker-dealer, custody, exchange, management and investment, issuance, lending, advisory). 🪤 TWO TRAPS. First, the register MIXES fully licensed firms with In-Principle Approval holders, and VARA states IPA holders "are strictly prohibited from initiating operations, conducting any virtual asset activities, or servicing clients until they have obtained their full VASP licence" — copying this table without the status column would tell consumers that firms VARA has forbidden to trade are authorised. Second, VARA covers Dubai mainland and free zones but EXCLUDES the DIFC, and Abu Dhabi's ADGM/FSRA is a wholly separate regulator, regime and register.

What This Board Is For

If your country is marked we hold it, the guided check can narrow the register to the firms licensed to do the specific thing you are asking, where you are.

If it is marked link only, we send you to the authority’s own copy and tell you why we cannot do more than that. We would rather hand you a live link to somebody else’s register than a stale copy of it.

If it is not established, we are saying so rather than leaving a gap you might read as an answer. It is also our own work queue.
