Slovenia joins EU’s MiCA stablecoin register with first issuer

Slovenia has become the first country to join the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) stablecoin register, with electronic money institution Dinaro being the first issuer added to the list. Dinaro, a Slovenia-based entity supervised by the Bank of Slovenia, joined the EMT (Electronic Money Token) dataset via the latest European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) register update on Wednesday.

Dinaro offers payment services, including card issuing and acquiring, and holds Mastercard principal membership. The update also expanded the EU register of crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), now listing 325 companies, with Czech lender Partners Banka and Germany's Volksbank Beilstein-Ilsfeld-Abstatt added as new CASPs. Notably, Czech company Altlift was removed from the CASP register, having been authorized to execute and transmit client orders and provide crypto-asset advice on June 30.

The EMT register now contains 43 entries, while the non-compliant entity list remains unchanged at 167.
