Ripple Payments Joins Growing List of EU Licensed Crypto Firms

The European Securities and Markets Authority recently added 14 new companies to its list of authorized crypto asset service providers. Among the additions is Ripple Payments Europe, marking a key milestone for the company as it expands its footprint under the new MiCA regulatory framework.

This update brings the total number of licensed providers to 294 across the region. The MiCA register serves as a central database for firms that have met strict compliance standards to operate legally within European markets.

For the broader industry, this move highlights how major players are prioritizing legal compliance to secure their operations. Traders will be watching to see how this regulatory clarity impacts Ripple's ability to offer services across the continent in the coming months.
