Slovenia has appeared for the first time in the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) register of electronic money token (EMT) issuers.
Dinaro, a Slovenia-based electronic money institution supervised by the Bank of Slovenia, <a href="https://www.esma.europa.eu/esmas-activities/digital-finance-and-innovation/markets-crypto-assets-regulation-mica" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">joined</a> the EMT list in the latest European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) register update on Wednesday.
According to its <a href="https://www.dinaro.si/company" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">website</a>, Dinaro provides payment services, including card issuing and acquiring, and says it holds Mastercard principal membership. Its addition marks the first appearance of a Slovenia-based issuer in ESMA’s EMT dataset.
The update also changed the EU register of authorized crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), which now lists 325 companies. It added Czech lender Partners Banka and Germany’s Volksbank Beilstein-Ilsfeld-Abstatt.
The register no longer lists Czech company Altlift, which <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/esma-mica-register-new-casps-stanchart-update" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">first appeared on the MiCA CASP register</a> in early July with authorization to execute and transmit client orders and provide crypto-asset advice. Its authorization notification was <a href="https://micahub.net/mica-register/casp/cz/altlift-s-r-o/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dated</a> June 30.
Dinaro’s addition brought the EMT register to 43 entries. The asset-referenced token (ART) register remained empty, while the non-compliant entity list was unchanged at 167.
