MiCA Implementation Status by Country
Every transitional period under MiCA Article 143(3) has now ended; the last ones closed on 1 July 2026. What
still differs by country is who authorises crypto-asset service providers and under which national act. For
each EU and EEA state this page gives the competent authority, the national act, the period ESMA lists, and the
date the national period actually ended — taken from the act or the authority, because ESMA's list gives months
only and some of its entries were never enacted.

MiCA does not apply in the United Kingdom or Switzerland, and neither
gets a MiCA passport. UK cryptoasset firms register with the FCA under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017;
Swiss firms operate under FINMA and the DLT Act. A CASP authorised in an EEA state needs separate permission to
serve either market.
How this tracker is built
The starting point is ESMA's list of
grandfathering periods under Article 143(3), version of 19 May 2026. That list gives a number of months per
state and nothing else, and ESMA warns that some figures reflect what an authority expected rather than what
its parliament enacted. So every end date here was checked against the national act or a statement by the
national authority. Where they disagree, the national source wins and the note says so: Poland's 6 months was
never enacted, Norway's 12 months was extended by regulation, and Iceland's period ran from 1 January 2026.
Status: Authorising means a competent authority has been designated and authorises
CASPs under MiCA. No competent authority means none has been designated, so no domestic authorisation
can be granted. No national act found means we could not find an enacted implementing act; MiCA still
applies directly.
The tracker is checked when a national act or ESMA's list changes, and the date at the top is the last full
check. Spot a change or an error? Email [email protected].
