Does BloFin have a MiCA (CASP) license?

✕ Not in the ESMA register

No. BloFin does not appear in the official ESMA register of MiCA-authorised crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) as of 14 October 2026. That means it is not currently authorised to serve clients in the EU/EEA under MiCA.

Status as of 14 October 2026, checked against the official ESMA register under the CASP Tracker Verification Protocol.

What this means if you are in the EU

MiCA is the EU regulation that governs crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). To legally serve clients in the EU/EEA, an exchange needs a CASP authorisation from a national regulator, which is then listed in ESMA's central register. BloFin is not in that register, so it is not currently MiCA-authorised.

National transition periods ended on 1 July 2026. Since then, only CASP-authorised firms may serve EU clients. If you use an unlicensed exchange you may have weaker consumer protections, and access can be restricted at any time. Learn more about what a CASP / MiCA license is.

Is BloFin applying for a MiCA license?

We could not confirm a public MiCA / CASP application by BloFin as of 14 October 2026. Some exchanges pursue authorisation through an EU-based entity without announcing it, and the ESMA register can lag a recent decision. This page is checked against the ESMA data and will be updated if BloFin's status changes.

Is BloFin leaving the EU?

BloFin is not currently MiCA-authorised. Since 1 July 2026, when the national transition periods ended, an exchange without a CASP authorisation listed in ESMA's register should not onboard or serve EU/EEA clients. In practice that can mean restricted access, paused services, or a forced move for EU users. If you rely on BloFin, check its current notices and consider a MiCA-licensed alternative.

Frequently asked questions

Does BloFin have a MiCA (CASP) license?

No. As of 14 October 2026, BloFin does not appear in ESMA's official register of MiCA-authorised crypto-asset service providers. We could not confirm a current authorisation for it.

Is BloFin legal in the EU?

Under MiCA, only authorised CASPs may provide crypto-asset services to EU/EEA clients. BloFin is not currently in the ESMA register, so it is not MiCA-authorised. National transition periods ended on 1 July 2026, so only CASP-authorised providers may serve EU clients now. Check the official ESMA register and your national regulator for the current position.

Can I still use BloFin in the EU?

Only if it is authorised. Since 1 July 2026, when the MiCA national transition periods ended, only exchanges with a CASP authorisation listed in ESMA's register may serve EU/EEA clients. BloFin is not in that register, so its EU access can be restricted or withdrawn. Check the notices in your account and consider a MiCA-licensed alternative.

Is BloFin MiCA compliant?

No. As of 14 October 2026, BloFin is not MiCA-compliant in the sense that matters under EU law: it does not hold a CASP authorisation and is not listed in ESMA's official register of authorised crypto-asset service providers. Only an authorised, registered CASP can be considered MiCA-compliant for serving EU/EEA clients.

Is BloFin in the ESMA register?

No. BloFin does not appear in ESMA's official register of authorised MiCA crypto-asset service providers as of 14 October 2026. You can confirm the current position yourself in the official ESMA register. An exchange that is not listed there is not MiCA-authorised to serve EU/EEA clients.

Is a MiCA license the same as a CASP license?

Yes. “CASP” (crypto-asset service provider) is the licence type defined by the EU's MiCA regulation (also written MiCAR), so “MiCA license”, “MiCA licence”, “CASP license” and “EU crypto license” all refer to the same authorisation. BloFin does not currently hold one.

Will BloFin get a MiCA license?

We can't predict that. A firm is only authorised once it is granted a CASP license by a national regulator and listed in ESMA's register. This page is checked against the ESMA data and will be updated if BloFin's status changes.

Which crypto exchanges do have a MiCA (CASP) license?

Many do, including Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, Gate and Crypto.com. See the full list of the world's biggest exchanges and their MiCA status, or browse every licensed CASP in the directory.

What changed on 1 July 2026?

1 July 2026 was the end of the MiCA national transition period. Since then, only firms with a CASP authorisation listed in ESMA's register may legally serve clients in the EU/EEA. An exchange that is not authorised should not be onboarding new EU clients.

Important: not appearing in the ESMA register does not by itself prove an exchange is acting illegally: it may operate through a differently named legal entity, or a recent decision may not be published yet. The ESMA non-compliance (NCASP) list only reflects warnings from a few national authorities, so absence from it is not proof of compliance. This page re-presents official ESMA data and is informational, not legal or financial advice. Always verify the current status with ESMA and your national regulator.
