17 of the 24 e-money regimes we track offer cross-border passporting rights. The other 7 stop at the border. One application that opens thirty markets and one that opens one are not the same product at the same price. Passporting quietly reorders any cost-per-market comparison. If you are choosing a route, this spread is usually the binding constraint, not the headline fee. Per-jurisdiction detail, dated and sourced: licencemap.com/e-money/compa… #Compliance #Licensing

6 of the 50 crypto licensing regimes we track set minimum initial capital under €50k. 33 require €50k to €150k and 11 demand more. Capital is locked before revenue exists, so for a lean team this single row often decides the shortlist. If you advise clients on market entry, the spread is the brief: the label is the same, the programme is not. Per-jurisdiction detail, dated and sourced: licencemap.com/crypto?utm_so… #Fintech #VASP

MiCA CASP or a legacy VASP registration? The route changes your timeline and your capital requirement, and it differs across all 53 jurisdictions we track. Some regulators are already issuing CASP authorisations; others are still working through legacy registrations while their transition window runs down. The practical difference is where your plan lives or dies. licencemap.com/?utm_source=x… #CASP #Fintech

The consultation closes at 11:59pm on 6 October 2026. If you are weighing where to hold an e-money licence, the UK payment services regulation rewrite now on the table should change how you read the UK option. HM Treasury wants to lift the authorisation and prudential requirements that currently sit in the Payment Services Regulations 2017 and the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 out of legislation and put them into FCA rules.

Nearly 1,200 firms are authorised or registered under the UK Payment Services Regulations and the Electronic Money Regulations. HM Treasury wants to move much of that rulebook out of legislation and into the FCA Handbook. The consultation closes at 11:59pm on 6 October 2026. Authorisation processes, capital and safeguarding are all on the delegation list, so requirements fixed in statute today could later move at the pace of an FCA consultation. One correction worth making: the EMI regime is not being merged into payment institutions. That is the EU story, not the UK one.

6 days until UK cryptoasset authorisation gateway opens (2026-09-30).

Germany or Spain for a CASP authorisation? The honest answer depends on which constraint binds first: capital, timeline, or local substance.

The FCA crypto authorisation gateway opens at 7am on 30 September 2026 and closes on 28 February 2027. If you serve UK customers and have been filing the new regime under 2027 problems, that framing is now wrong. The question in front of you is not whether to apply.

Five months. That is the whole window to apply for UK crypto authorisation: 7am on 30 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. Miss it and there is no grace period. The FCA expects an orderly run-off and exit before the regime commences on 25 October 2027. MLR registration does not convert, and an adjacent e-money or payments permission does not stretch to cover the new activities.

Regulators across the MiCA jurisdictions we track have now granted 745 CASP authorisations between them. Throughput is not quality, and big markets skew the count. But the pace tells you which door is actually open: some regulators are processing files, others are still building the queue.

Regulatory data goes stale fast. Every one of the 106 regime entries on LicenceMap carries a last-verified date and a primary source, not a guess from a 2023 blog post. When a regime changes, the entry changes, and anyone watching that jurisdiction hears about it the same day. licencemap.com/?utm_source=x… #RegTech #Compliance

The Monetary Authority of Singapore published proposed amendments to the Payment Services Act 2019 on 1 September 2026, moving single currency stablecoin issuance into the payments licensing perimeter. A Singapore stablecoin licence is about to become a statutory permission rather than a policy expectation. Feedback closes on 16 October 2026. New analysis on LicenceMap: licencemap.com/blog/singapor… #Stablecoins #MAS

Singapore wants stablecoin issuers to hold reserves equal to 100 per cent of tokens in issue, redeem at par, and pay holders no interest at all. MAS published proposed Payment Services Act amendments on 1 September. Only licensed issuers could market a token as a MAS-regulated stablecoin, so the licence becomes a distribution asset as well as a permission. Foreign issuers get a recognition route instead, which turns on their home regime being judged comparable. Every regime we track sits on the live matrix, dated and sourced, so you can see what each one actually requires before you commit. Consultation closes 16 October. licencemap.com/blog/singapor… #Stablecoins #PaymentsLicensing

Your clients do not email you when a regulator moves, and the regulator certainly does not. LicenceMap re-verifies 53 crypto and 53 e-money regimes on a rolling basis. Every change is dated, sourced and visible the day it lands. If you advise on licensing, walking into the quarterly review already knowing what moved is the job: licencemap.com/changes?utm_s… #Licensing #Compliance
