Blockchain.com wins Cayman custody license after MiCA and FCA approvals

Summary

Blockchain.com received a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority on July 22, 2026, enabling it to offer regulated crypto custody in the Cayman Islands. The approval followed a conditional green light in December 2025. The license also permits crypto-to-fiat and crypto-to-crypto exchange services. Blockchain.com has held a Cayman VASP registration since May 2022. The company said the approval adds to recent regulatory wins, including a MiCA license in Europe and registration with the UK Financial Conduct Authority, and strengthens its ability to serve customers in the region.
