Cayman Islands Grant Blockchain.com VASP License for Regulated Crypto Services

Blockchain.com has secured a key regulatory milestone in the Cayman Islands. The company has been granted a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, allowing it to offer regulated crypto custody services.

The license was granted on July 22, 2026, following a conditional approval issued by CIMA in December 2025. This approval also enables Blockchain.com to provide crypto-to-fiat and crypto-to-crypto exchange services.

This is part of a broader trend of regulatory approvals for the company. In Europe, Blockchain.com obtained a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation license, while it has also registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority.

Lane Kasselman, co-CEO of Blockchain.com, said that 'strong regulation is essential to the long-term development of digital assets'. The CIMA license builds on these recent regulatory milestones, he added.
