MiCA Regulation in Iceland: What You Need to Know

Since MiCA became fully applicable across the EU in December 2024, any firm offering crypto-asset services in Iceland — such as custody, operating a trading platform, exchanging crypto for fiat, executing orders, or providing advice — must be authorized as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP). In Iceland, that authorization is granted by the Central Bank of Iceland (FME).

One of MiCA's biggest advantages is passporting: a provider authorized in Iceland can offer its services in every other EU and EEA member state without applying for a separate licence in each country. This is why the country in which a firm is authorized matters, and why MICA Watch organizes the register by member state.

The tables above list crypto-asset entities whose home member state is Iceland, based on the official interim registers published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). Data is refreshed regularly; the current snapshot reflects the status as of 18 August 2026.

Who regulates crypto-asset service providers in Iceland?

Can a CASP authorised in Iceland operate in other EU countries?
