ESMA Statement on the End of the Transition Period Under MiCAR
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) warns that crypto-asset service providers lacking a MiCAR license by July 1, 2027, must immediately wind down operations to safeguard client interests and market integrity. Providers are prohibited from establishing new business relationships and must restrict services to activities necessary for settling existing ones while adhering to due diligence and sanctions requirements. The regulatory body directs stakeholders to verify their licensing status via the ESMA register.
