Sources and method
Every count is computed from The Crypto Register's structured mirror of the ESMA Register of Crypto-Asset Service Providers, the primary source, re-validated weekly against national competent authority registers under a two-source rule. MiFID II derivatives venues and crypto-card issuers follow the same discipline on their own registers. Figures update with each build; this page always shows the latest verified snapshot as of the date at the top. Our methodology explains every field. This is an independent, advertising-supported information project; no provider pays for placement, and no ranking or score is expressed or implied.
