On 9 February 2026, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published a Guidelines Compliance Table covering its guidelines on “the procedures and policies, including the rights of clients,” in the context of transfer services for crypto-assets under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), focused on investor protection.
The document is identified as ESMA35-24871704-2591 and references the underlying guidelines as ESMA35-1872330276-2032.
What the compliance table covers
ESMA’s compliance table sets out which competent authorities “comply or intend to comply” with the guidelines on transfer services for crypto-assets under MiCA.
The table is presented by jurisdiction and competent authority, with an indication of compliance status and accompanying comments where provided.
How ESMA frames NCA status in the table
In the table, ESMA includes entries indicating “non-compliance by default, pending designation by the Member State of the Competent Authority for the jurisdiction” for certain jurisdictions.
The document also notes that where an authority continues to intend to comply after the application date, it will be considered “non-compliant” unless specified conditions apply.
