Luxembourg’s financial regulator, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), has granted Ripple full Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorization. The approval completes Ripple’s compliance under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework and follows a preliminary approval the CSSF issued in June 2026.

With the license confirmed, Ripple’s end-to-end regulated crypto payments product is now available to financial institutions, corporates, and businesses across all 30 countries in the European Economic Area (EEA). San Francisco-based Ripple said the authorization positions it to serve the growing number of European institutions seeking regulated digital asset partners.

Ripple Now Holds More Than 75 Regulatory Licenses Globally

The CASP authorization adds to an existing EU Electronic Money Institution license that Ripple already held. Combined with its registration with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), secured in January 2026, Ripple’s total global regulatory licenses now exceed 75.

Cassie Craddock, Ripple’s Managing Director for the UK and Europe, said the company is prepared to meet institutional demand in the region. “The institutions we work with across Europe are looking to build their digital assets services alongside regulated partners, and Ripple is licensed and ready to meet that demand,” she said.

Only 280 of 3,000+ Former License Holders Are MiCA-Authorized

MiCA’s final transition period ended on July 1, replacing the national crypto licensing systems that had previously operated across EU member states. Under the new framework, a single CASP authorization allows service providers to passport their services across the entire EEA without having to apply separately in each country.

As of July 3, the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) MiCA register listed 280 authorized firms, a fraction of the more than 3,000 companies that had operated under national regimes, according to Trezor Chief Commercial Officer Danny Sanders.

Ripple joins Kraken, Coinbase, OKX, and Crypto(dot)com among the major crypto firms that have received CASP authorization to date. Binance, which holds the largest share of global crypto trading volume, entered the post-transition period without MiCA authorization after withdrawing its Greek license application before the July 1 deadline.
