Abstract generation in progress
Coin World News, Standard Chartered Bank has joined the MiCA registration of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), bringing the total number of registered companies to 280. ESMA added 37 MiCA-licensed crypto companies after the transition period ended on July 1, including Standard Chartered and FalconX. This update is the first major change to MiCA registration since companies lost the ability to rely on national transitional rules. Unauthorized crypto companies must stop accepting new EU clients and begin phasing out services where necessary. Germany leads in MiCA registration with 57 licensed providers, France has 31, the Netherlands has 26, and Malta and Cyprus each have 20. Standard Chartered obtained MiCA authorization through its Luxembourg entity and received an electronic money institution license from the Luxembourg financial regulator CSSF, allowing it to expand crypto custody and related services across the EU.

Germany has 57 companies and France has 31; Luxembourg is in just the right position—once the CSSF license is in hand, it can roll out across the entire EU.

The first major change after the MiCA transition period ends—280 “Shatter” companies are set to move into the top ranks; the compliance arms race has only just begun.

Standard Chartered getting a license in Luxembourg this time is indeed solid. With a traditional bank stepping in to provide custody, retail investors will have more options to store crypto in the future.
