Facts

How many crypto-asset service providers are authorised in Germany under MiCAR?

86 firms, holding 89 authorisations between them. That is the largest pool in the entire European Economic Area; France follows with 35, the Netherlands with 29.

Source: ESMA register under Art. 109 MiCAR, German subset, register as of 08.09.2026. The competent authority is BaFin.

Context

Three firms hold two entries each, because a service added later is filed as a new row. The figure is also a floor for the DAC8 reporting duty: crypto-asset operators without a MiCAR authorisation are covered too.
