Belgium’s FSMA Flags Six Unauthorized Crypto Providers After MiCA Transition Ends

Belgium’s FSMA has listed six unauthorized crypto providers as fraudulent shortly after the EU’s MiCA transitional period ended, raising consumer protection alerts.

Belgium’s Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) has added six crypto-asset service providers to its list of unauthorized and potentially fraudulent operators. This move came just days after the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation transitional period expired, signaling stricter enforcement in the crypto sector, according to CoinTelegraph.

The FSMA’s warning aims to protect consumers from unlicensed crypto firms that may not comply with the new regulatory framework introduced under MiCA. The addition of these six providers to the fraudulent CASP list highlights ongoing vigilance in the European market as the bloc tightens oversight of digital asset services.

For Japanese investors and market participants, this development underscores the increasing global push for regulatory clarity and consumer protection in crypto markets, a trend also reflected in Japan’s evolving approach to crypto asset supervision.
