What is MiCA?
The EU regulation for crypto markets — explained briefly.
A single framework for the whole EU
MiCA stands for "Markets in Crypto-Assets" and is the first comprehensive EU regulation for crypto service providers. For the first time it creates uniform rules for exchanges, wallet providers and stablecoin issuers across all EU countries — with the goal of protecting investors and making the market more reliable.
Deadline: 1 July 2026
After the transition period, all providers operating in the EU must hold a MiCA licence (CASP authorisation). Those without a licence may no longer serve new customers and must restrict or discontinue their EU offering. For you that can mean: no more trading, restricted deposits and withdrawals, or a forced switch.
Check it yourself — in 30 seconds
You don't have to rely on marketing promises. You can look up the licence status yourself at any time on the official ESMA site, in the searchable CASP Tracker or with your national authority (BaFin, FMA) — or simply use the quick check above.
Why a MiCA licence matters
A licence isn't a marketing label — it stands for concrete protection mechanisms.
Segregated customer funds
Licensed providers must keep customer funds strictly separate from company assets. In the event of insolvency, your crypto holdings stay protected and do not fall into the bankruptcy estate.
Reserves & capital
MiCA providers must hold sufficient capital and reserves. That lowers the risk of an exchange becoming insolvent overnight.
Ongoing supervision
A competent authority (e.g. BaFin or FMA) supervises the provider on an ongoing basis — not just once at licensing.
Transparency requirements
Fees, risks and terms must be disclosed clearly and understandably. Hidden costs become far less common as a result.
EU legal certainty
With a MiCA licence, a single legal framework applies across the entire EU (EU passporting). You trade on a vetted platform supervised within Europe.
Good to know
What MiCA & co. change for you as a crypto investor.
Travel Rule
For crypto transfers, regulated providers will in future have to record and pass on sender and recipient data — similar to bank transfers. This increases transparency but also means more data requests when sending and receiving.
DAC8 — automatic tax reporting
Under DAC8, crypto service providers will automatically report user data to the tax authorities from 2026 — trades and holdings become visible to the tax office. That makes a clean, traceable history all the more important. With CoinTracking you are DAC8-ready and can present a plausible tax report at any time.
Stablecoins: USDT out, USDC/EURC in
MiCA sets strict requirements for stablecoins. Non-compliant tokens like USDT are being restricted or delisted on some EU exchanges, while approved alternatives like USDC or EURC are gaining importance. Swap in good time if needed — and document the swaps for tax purposes.
German tax basics
In Germany, private crypto gains are tax-free after a one-year holding period; below that, an exemption limit of €1,000 per year applies. Complete acquisition data and holding periods are decisive. CoinTracking calculates FIFO/LIFO and holding periods and generates a report ready for the tax office.
From 1 July 2026, crypto service providers without a MiCA licence may no longer serve new customers in the EU and must restrict or discontinue their offering. In the worst case you lose access or have to switch at short notice. Tip: export your full transaction history early — with CoinTracking you keep your history and your tax report complete even after switching exchanges.
MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) is the EU-wide regulation for crypto service providers. A MiCA licence (CASP authorisation) means the provider has been vetted and authorised by an EU supervisory authority and is supervised on an ongoing basis — including obligations to segregate customer funds, hold capital and ensure transparency.
Not quite. MiCA is the EU-wide framework; BaFin is the German authority that grants and supervises this licence in Germany. A MiCA licence granted in one EU country applies across the entire EU via "EU passporting" — whether it comes from BaFin, the FMA (Austria) or another national authority.
According to our data (June 23, 2026), Binance has filed a licence application (as of January 2026, Greece) but does not yet hold a confirmed MiCA licence. Check the current status in the CASP Tracker or on the ESMA site. If you switch, you can import your Binance history into CoinTracking at any time.
According to our data (June 23, 2026), OKX is licensed as a MiCA CASP via the Maltese authority MFSA. The official EU sources are always authoritative: CASP Tracker or ESMA site. OKX transactions can be imported directly into CoinTracking.
Our check is a quick orientation helper and is based on publicly available information (as of June 23, 2026). Only the official EU sources are binding: CASP Tracker, ESMA site and the databases of the national supervisory authorities (e.g. BaFin, FMA). All information is without guarantee — please verify the status there before making important decisions.
No. MiCA does require segregation of customer funds, capital and transparency — but there is no statutory deposit protection for crypto like there is for bank deposits (up to €100,000 in the EU). MiCA lowers the risk but does not replace deposit protection.
MiCA sets strict requirements for stablecoins (so-called e-money tokens / asset-referenced tokens). Stablecoins without the appropriate EU authorisation may no longer be offered freely — which is why some exchanges have restricted or delisted USDT for EU customers and increasingly rely on approved alternatives like USDC or EURC.
In the searchable CASP Tracker (which bundles ESMA data clearly) or directly on the official ESMA MiCA page. In addition there are the databases of the national supervisory authorities such as BaFin (Germany) and the FMA (Austria).
If you switch exchanges because of MiCA, a complete history is crucial — otherwise you will later be missing acquisition costs and holding periods for your taxes. With CoinTracking you import trades from over 300 exchanges and wallets, merge old and new accounts, and generate a finished tax report at the click of a button (FIFO/LIFO, holding periods, DAC8-ready). That keeps your taxes clean even after switching.
