Ripple wins EU-wide access as ESMA adds it to MiCA register

Ripple joins ESMA’s MiCA register, gaining access to 29 EU countries as licensed crypto firms face rising compliance pressure.

• Ripple's European payments unit has been added to the EU's MiCA register, granting it regulated access to provide crypto services across 29 EU countries.
• This authorization allows Ripple to offer crypto asset and stablecoin payment services to financial institutions and businesses, leveraging the MiCA framework's passporting system.
• The move occurs as regulators, including AMLA, warn of increased compliance pressure and potential strain on systems due to customer migration following MiCA's transition period.
