Centralized Exchange
Minor changeWhy this matters
As a CEX seeking or holding a CASP license under MiCA, the company will be listed on this public register. The increased frequency of updates means any changes to the company's registration status will be visible to the public and regulators more quickly.
What to do
Ensure the internal compliance team is aware that registration status updates will now reflect on the ESMA register on a weekly basis.
DeFi Protocol
Doesn't applyWhy this matters
The regulatory change concerns the frequency with which ESMA publishes a register of licensed entities. As a fully decentralized protocol with no identifiable operator or licensing obligations, this entity is not listed on the register and is not responsible for reporting to it.
Custodian
Minor changeWhy this matters
As a custodian, the company will be listed on the MiCA register, and a more frequent update cycle increases the visibility of its regulatory status. However, this is an obligation on ESMA to publish, not a new operational burden for the custodian.
What to do
Monitor the weekly register updates to ensure the company's information is displayed accurately.
