Limits of this register

  • List of licensed virtual asset trading platforms publishes current entries only. Entries removed from it are not kept, so none is marked inactive.

Licences by class

All 13 licences and registrations on SFC-VATP are of one class: Crypto-Asset Service Provider.

Institutions on SFC-VATP that hold a BIC

None of the institutions on SFC-VATP holds a BIC in Swift’s directory. Register records join an institution that holds a BIC only through a shared LEI, so this is a lower bound.

Sources & method

An institution is one entry in the directory: a BIC8 in Swift’s directory, or a firm on a tracked register that holds no BIC. Licences held by an institution with a BIC are shown on its page. Institutions come from Swift’s ISO 9362 BIC directory and from the public registers of financial regulators; a register record joins an institution that holds a BIC only through a shared LEI, never by name alone.

Institutions without a BIC are not screened against sanctions lists. An institution missing from this register is not necessarily unregulated.

A BIC or a licence identifies an entity; it does not assess it. The Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks and payment firms. Read about the FinCrime Index.
