How to read crypto exchange availability in the EU

• ● Home state: the country whose regulator authorised the exchange and supervises it.
• ✓ Notified: the exchange has notified this country under its MiCA passport and may provide services there.
• – Not notified: the register lists no notification for this country.

A notification means the exchange may offer its services in that country; it does not oblige the exchange to accept every customer or to offer every product there.

Why crypto exchange availability in the EU differs

Large international exchanges usually notify all or almost all EEA countries, while national providers often serve only their home market and a few neighbours.

The guide to MiCA passporting explains how notifications work.

How this site uses crypto exchange availability data

Exchange cards on CoinTrustRadar.com are shown only to visitors whose country is ● or ✓ for that exchange in the matrix above.

Your approximate country is determined from your IP address, and there is no manual country selector.

Visitors from outside the EU and EEA, or whose country cannot be determined, see a notice instead of exchange cards.

Checking crypto exchange availability yourself

1. Search the exchange in the MiCA licence checker or ESMA's register.
2. Read the notified countries in the register entry.
3. Read the exchange's terms for any country restrictions of its own.
4. Check after moving: availability depends on your country of residence.

Crypto exchange availability and your country of residence

Availability depends on where you live, not where you happen to be.

Exchanges verify your address during onboarding, and their terms usually require you to report a change of residence.

Opening an account while claiming to live in another country breaks most exchanges' terms and can lead to the account being closed.

Crypto exchange availability outside the EEA

MiCA passports do not reach countries outside the EEA.
