Does MEXC have a MiCA (CASP) license?

No. MEXC is not listed in ESMA's official register of MiCA-authorised CASPs, and the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) has publicly flagged it for providing crypto-asset services without the required MiCA authorisation. Always confirm the current status in the official ESMA register.

The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) added MEXC to its public list of entities providing crypto-asset services without the required MiCA authorisation (decision dated 16 September 2025). Stated reason: MEXC Global provides crypto-asset services in the Netherlands without the required MiCAR license. MEXC is in breach of section 59 MiCAR.

Under MiCA, only authorised CASPs may provide crypto-asset services to EU/EEA clients. MEXC 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.

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. MEXC is not in that register, so its EU access can be restricted or withdrawn.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.

No. As of 17 October 2026, MEXC 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.

No. MEXC does not appear in ESMA's official register of authorised MiCA crypto-asset service providers as of 17 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.

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. MEXC does not currently hold one.

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 MEXC's status changes.

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.

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.
