Who are the best EU MiCA CASPs in September 2026?

Methodology (this batch)

BrokerMafia's September 2026 shortlists are editorial discovery tables ordered by public-fact criteria: regulatory tier (published register IDs), entity transparency, longevity or citable public scale, and product/authority clarity. BrokerMafia keyword-page presence is a tie-break only. We refuse paid rank, star scores, and copied review prose. Order can change when registers or public disclosures change — this batch is dated September 2026.

Scope: EEA MiCA Title V CASPs appearing on ESMA's interim public CASP register. Not US BitLicense-only entities. Not a token endorsement. Grandfathering / transitional national regimes may still apply until local deadlines — always verify.

Regulatory tier — published tier-1 register IDs where we can cite them.
Entity transparency — can a reader match agreement → register row?
Longevity / public scale — years, listing, or citable industry revenue lists.
Product / authority clarity — FX entity vs exchange vs FMCSA broker vs DOI producer.
BrokerMafia research presence — tie-break only.

Marketing claims (spreads, bonuses, pass rates, “best broker awards”) are labeled and never used as primary rank keys.

Ranked shortlist — September 2026

Order = editorial fit to documented public-fact criteria for this dated batch. Not AggregateRating. Not paid placement.

Questions this page answers

Is ESMA the licence?

National competent authorities authorise; ESMA publishes the central interim register. Always match LEI + legal name.

What about Binance?

Absence from this shortlist is not a safety score — it means we did not place that brand in this ESMA-first Top 10 for the snapshot rules of this batch.

Grandfathering?

Art. 143 transitional measures vary by Member State — do not assume a pre-MiCA national registration equals a CASP authorisation.
