The approval means Ripple is now fully MiCA-compliant for payments, financial institutions, corporates and businesses across all 30 European Economic Area countries.

  • Ripple received a full MiCA Crypto-Asset Service Provider license from Luxembourg, allowing it to offer cryptoasset services across the European Economic Area.
  • The authorization makes Ripple one of a small group of digital asset firms fully approved under MiCA, with unlicensed crypto companies forced to halt operations in the region.
  • The license builds on its February approval as an Electronic Money Institution in Luxembourg, positioning the company to scale regulated payment and crypto services throughout the European Union.

Ripple said Monday that Luxembourg upgraded its preliminary Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorization under the European Union’s (EU) Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations to a full license. The approval clears Ripple to provide cryptoasset services throughout the European Economic Area (EEA).

“This CASP authorisation means Ripple enters the post-transitional MiCA era fully compliant and ready to scale,” said Cassie Craddock, the company's managing director for Europe and the U.K., in a statement.

The CASP license Ripple announced Monday makes the company one of a small number of digital asset firms to have full authorization under MiCA, which became law three years ago and came into full force on July 1. Crypto firms without a license must stop operating in the region. Ripple was granted a preliminary license in June.

Crypto exchange Binance is among thousands of other CASPs that failed to qualify in time. According to the rules, a firm licensed in an EU country can “passport” its services across the entire area.

In February, Rippled secured full approval as an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) from Luxembourg's financial regulator, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), a step that lets the company scale regulated payment services across the European Union.
