The Crypto Register EU

Methodology

Every fact on The Crypto Register is sourced from a primary authority. ESMA, GLEIF, national competent authorities. Refreshed weekly. Corrections welcome.

How does The Crypto Register source its data?

Every claim on every page is sourced to a primary authority. Our core inputs are:

  • The ESMA Register of Crypto-Asset Service Providers for authorisation status, legal entities, jurisdictions, and authorised services per exchange.
  • The GLEIF Legal Entity Identifier database for cross-verification of entity identity and corporate structure.
  • The official websites of national competent authorities (BaFin, AFM, MFSA, CSSF, FMA, AMF, CySEC, CBI, DNB and others) for jurisdiction-specific authorisations and public consumer notices.
  • EUR-Lex for the authoritative text of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA) and related implementing acts.

How often is the data refreshed?

Authorisation data from the ESMA register and GLEIF is refreshed weekly. National competent authority pages are sampled weekly for new public notices. The full site rebuild runs every Monday.

How are corrections handled?

Send corrections to our contact page with a link to a primary source. Every correction request is investigated. When supported by primary-source evidence, the correction is reflected in the next weekly rebuild, normally within 48 hours.

What does The Crypto Register not do?

We do not provide legal or financial advice. We do not accept exchange-supplied data. We do not run paid placements or commercial relationships with any listed provider. We do not publish exchange-specific allegations beyond what is in the primary public record from regulators.
