Blockchain.com has secured a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority to offer custody services.

Granted on July 22, 2026, the license allows the cryptocurrency services company to provide regulated crypto custody services in the Cayman Islands, according to a Thursday announcement reviewed by Cointelegraph. The license followed a conditional approval issued by CIMA in December 2025.

The license also allows Blockchain.com to provide crypto-to-fiat and crypto-to-crypto exchange services. The company has held a VASP registration in the Cayman Islands since May 2022.

Lane Kasselman, co-CEO of Blockchain.com, said the CIMA license builds on the companys recent regulatory milestones, including obtaining a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation license in Europe and registering with the UK Financial Conduct Authority.

“We believe strong regulation is essential to the long-term development of digital assets, and these approvals further strengthen our ability to serve customers across the region,” Kasselman said.
