Ripple has received full authorization as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) from Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), marking a major regulatory milestone
Ripple has received full authorization as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) from Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), marking a major regulatory milestone under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. The approval follows Ripple’s preliminary authorization announced in June 2026 and confirms the company is now fully MiCA-compliant.
It’s official: Ripple has received its EU CASP license. We are now fully MiCA-compliant and ready to meet growing European crypto demand https://t.co/I9GRgvfGzH

The CASP authorization allows Ripple to passport its regulated crypto services throughout the European Economic Area without obtaining separate licenses in each jurisdiction. The company said its fully regulated crypto payments solution is now available to banks, financial institutions, enterprises, and corporates operating across the region.
Cassie Craddock, Managing Director for the UK & Europe at Ripple, said the approval positions the company to scale its operations in the post-transitional MiCA environment. She noted that European financial institutions are increasingly seeking regulated partners as they expand their digital asset offerings, and Ripple is now fully licensed to support that demand. In the last week of June, Ripple launched its RLUSD stablecoin in Japan through SBI VC Trade after receiving regulatory approval, expanding its regulated stablecoin presence in Asia.
The newly granted CASP license builds on Ripple’s existing Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license in Luxembourg, providing a comprehensive regulatory foundation for its crypto payments and digital asset infrastructure in Europe. Together, the two licenses place Ripple among a limited group of crypto firms that have achieved full authorization under MiCA.
Ripple stated that the latest approval expands its global regulatory portfolio to more than 75 licenses, reinforcing its strategy of operating within regulated markets as institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial services continues to grow.
Last week, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen’s investment linked to the APEC political action committee drew attention as U.S. lawmakers debated major crypto legislation, sparking discussions over crypto’s role in policymaking.
