Authorisation register
An authorisation means little until you know what it covers. Per platform: which of the ten MiCA services are listed under its name in the ESMA register, and how many EEA countries it is passported to.
Payward Europe Solutions Limited
Payward Global Solutions Limited
OKX Europe Limited

A filled letter appears that way in the register. An empty letter falls outside this authorisation; it says nothing about the rest of the platform.

Risk warning (EU MiCA) — Investing in crypto-assets is risky (EU MiCA). You may lose your entire investment.
How we work
That's a limitation, and we'd rather name it ourselves. Which platforms appear here is commercial. What we write about them is not: the terms we show are the platform's own, unchanged.
Every offer states what you have to do to get it: KYC, minimum deposit, number of trades, duration. If a condition is unfavourable, it's still there.
Offers disappear automatically on their expiry date. You won't find a code here that worked last quarter.
Short, honest answers to the questions beginners ask us most.
Yes, provided you choose an exchange regulated under the European MiCA framework. Also enable two-factor authentication and store larger amounts in your own wallet. Crypto remains a risky investment: prices can swing sharply.
A code that gives you a welcome bonus or discount when you create an account at an exchange, such as free crypto or lower trading fees. We collect the current codes from our partners in one place, so you never miss a bonus.
MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) is the European law regulating crypto providers. A MiCA-licensed exchange is supervised and must meet strict requirements on security, transparency and protecting customer funds.
Most exchanges let you buy crypto from as little as €10. Start small, learn how it works, and never invest money you can't afford to lose.
