The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has released its fourth update to the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) register since the July 1 transitional deadline, adding 12 new companies. This update, published on July 31, increases the total number of authorized crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) under MiCA to 321.

Spain saw two additions, Basque Pay and Fintech Payments, while France added four companies: Finary, Woorton, Blockchain Process Security, and Shares Financial Assets.
