Conditional VASP license lets Blockchain.com offer institutional custody, adding to MiCA and FCA. It now has regulatory oversight in three jurisdictions.
Blockchain.com has received a conditional Virtual Asset Service Provider custody license from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. The approval is the company's third major regulatory stamp in under a year, following a MiCA license from Malta's MFSA in October 2025 and FCA registration in the UK in February 2026.
The license was granted to Blockchain.com (Cayman) Limited, listed as a registered VASP on the company's official licenses page. The company announced a physical expansion in the Cayman Islands on June 25, 2026, including hiring its first on-island employee and partnering with TechCayman to establish an office in Camana Bay.
The Cayman Islands implemented its full VASP licensing regime for custody and trading activities on April 1, 2025. Under the regime, firms must obtain a license to hold customer assets or facilitate trades. Crypto.com received a similar conditional CIMA VASP approval in January 2026.
Blockchain.com, founded in 2011, supports over 95 million wallets and more than 43 million verified users. The company said the Cayman license enables its enterprise custody offering for institutional clients.
The company now holds regulatory approval in three major jurisdictions.
