Ripple Payments Europe has been added to ESMA's MiCA register, allowing it to offer regulated crypto asset and stablecoin payment services across 29 EU countries. This follows Ripple's earlier approval in Luxembourg and complements its electronic money institution license, enabling banks and fintechs to use Ripple's platform for payments and asset exchanges.
