On 23 June 2026, ESMA has published a
statement, calling on unauthorised CASPs to wind down their activities after the end of the transitional period under MiCA on 1 July 2026. ESMA expects unauthorised CASPs to take immediate steps to wind down their EU activities in an orderly manner, while also safeguarding clients’ interests and mitigating risks to market integrity. ESMA also reminds clients of unauthorised CASPs, whether EU or non-EU entities, that they do not benefit from MiCA safeguards, including protections for client assets.
