The latest EU Crypto Register Monthly Update is live.

This is the first edition including notified OCA (Other Crypto Asset) whitepapers — and the numbers tell an interesting story.

However it does show how ESMA’s current #MiCA database is effectively 26 sets of records stitched together. Proper standardization still feels a long way off. Small details like this continue to make it tricky for interested parties to track and interpret changes accurately.

One thing I noticed when updating the EU #Crypto Register this month was that the Cypriot regulator (CySEC) changed their two-letter country code for Greece from GR to EL.

You’re probably expecting me to make a comment about the political significance (Greece and Cyprus!).

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

But I don’t read it that way. My guess instead would be that they are trying to standardize with other EU member states which also tend to use EL. 🇬🇷

@AllUnityStable May Monthly Update: https://t.co/7TTonmiqJJ

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

We hit spring cleaning season across Europe this month, as jurisidctions like Ireland and Cyprus fixed missing and incorrect information across their #crypto databases.

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

But there were interesting things too - of special note is the authorisation of the first Swedish krona-backed EMT from @AllUnityStable. The range of currencies in regulated #stablecoin format continues to grow across Europe!

Full list of all comings and below.

@godspeed_aflame A key giveaway is if the book has one 'theme' which explains virtually everything that's ever happened in history - geography, biology, religion, etc. This formula usually makes it highly likely to make it on the NYTimes bestseller list and zero history professors' reading lists

@gem_ste Gotta be DLG, right? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@Nuggzy_News “Previously on crypto…” 😆

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

An interesting month in the EU crypto space. We’ve got:

- one of Spain’s largest banks receiving its CASP license
- the first Croatian MiCA license of any kind
- the first Estonian MiCA license of any kind
- the first Latvian EMT

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

@ScalableCapDACH and @validvent are now permitted to offer 'personalised recommendations to clients about crypto-assets or services'.

They are the first two companies to receive this authorisation on its own.

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

Friendly reminder that just offering advice on #crypto is also a regulated activity in the EU. This month, we added two companies to the EU Crypto Register (https://t.co/rY61QGR1Lc) who recently received their #MiCA authorisations for this and only this.

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

I reviewed hundreds of #crypto whitepapers when putting together the EU Crypto Register, and so did official agencies.

I love that fact that on some official government calendar is an appointment called 'Review Unstable Coin'. What a time to be in financial regulation.

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

- three EMT issuers adding a CASP authorization to their license stack
- the first ever Romanian leu-backed EMT

All this and more, including a huge whitepaper notification stash from Ireland and Germany (again) in this month’s Update from the EU Crypto Register (in comments)

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

@taipan168 You know the moment I saw this tweet I immediately knew what the replies would be. Fun afternoon tho!

Next up: country TLDs. I mean .de for Germany, .es for Spain, .kp for North Korea?? What a mess.

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

@desire4changes @KingPendragon33 Absolutely! Shows that no-one can ignore what is happening in this space

[Ryan King 王明瑞 @thisisryanking]

A bank founded in 1590 just got a MiCA license.

The March EU Crypto Register update is out. Here's what stood out: 🧵
