About Stable Mint Ltd.
Stable Mint Ltd. is a Malta-based fintech that offers a regulated stablecoin account for holding euro and US dollar balances. On its website the company describes the product as a way to hold EUR and USD, send money across borders via SEPA or SWIFT (or on-chain to an external wallet), and convert between euro and dollar stablecoins on demand, with balances it states are backed 1:1 by cash deposits and high-quality liquid assets held in segregated accounts. Stable Mint states it is 'EMI-authorised' and 'regulated by the MFSA under MiCA', positioning itself as an electronic money institution rather than a Bitcoin or general crypto-asset exchange.

The contracting legal entity is Stable Mint Ltd., a Maltese company, and its national competent authority is the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). According to a third-party company register, Stable Mint Ltd. is registered under number C 109060 and was authorised by the MFSA on 5 August 2024, with headquarters in Malta and the ability to passport its services across the EEA. Because its model centres on issuing fiat-referenced euro and dollar stablecoins, this profile reads as an issuer and payments entity rather than a consumer trading venue for volatile crypto-assets.

Under the MiCA framework, the services recorded against this entity are Custody and Transfer services. That means the MiCA authorisation covers safekeeping of clients' crypto-assets and the execution of transfers on their behalf - which aligns with the hold-and-send account described on the site. It does not, on the basis of these recorded services, extend to other MiCA activities such as operating a trading platform, exchanging crypto-assets, placing, reception and transmission or execution of orders, or providing advice and portfolio management. Anyone relying on the licence should confirm the live entry and the precise permission scope directly with the MFSA. Sources: MFSA crypto-assets, Stable Mint

Why is Stable Mint Ltd. licensed in Malta?
Malta was an early MiCA mover, granting the first authorisations on 27 January 2025. The MFSA had pre-existing experience under Malta's Virtual Financial Assets Act (2018), which gave it institutional readiness most other national competent authorities lacked. Several global exchanges chose Malta for their EU passporting hub, including OKX, Crypto.com and Gemini. Source: Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA).
