Dinaro's entry
Dinaro is classified as an electronic money institution. That category, under MiCA, covers entities authorized to issue e-money tokens. The update made Dinaro Slovenia's first and, as of the report, only entry on the EU stablecoin issuer list. The source did not disclose which token the institution is authorized to issue or the size of its operations.
The MiCA stablecoin register is the EU's public record of issuers that have cleared authorization in their home member states. An electronic money institution must receive that national sign-off before it can operate across the bloc, and its placement on the register reflects that clearance.
Two new CASPs
The same update that listed Dinaro also added two new crypto asset service providers, the source reported. Neither was named. CASPs cover a broader range of activity than stablecoin issuance. The category includes custody and exchange operations, among other service types, and is licensed under a separate track from stablecoin issuers within MiCA's framework.
