BCash, Xenios Blockchain Group, Capital Wallet Greece and Piraeus Bank were added to ESMA's MiCA register, alongside six providers from Germany, France and Slovenia.

Oversight is split: the Hellenic Capital Market Commission supervises three of the firms, while the Bank of Greece is the competent authority for Piraeus Bank.

Binance withdrew its Greek application in June before a decision was issued.

Why it matters for banking

A growing number of EU banks holding MiCA authorisations themselves is a positive signal for crypto-related banking access in the region.
