Sources and bibliography

Every figure in LicenceMap is compiled from primary sources: regulator handbooks, legislation, official fee schedules and public registers, each cited on its own cell with a verification date. This page is the consolidated, deduplicated view of what the dataset draws on across every tracked jurisdiction. How we decide sourced versus estimated is set out in the methodology.

We cite figures against 257 distinct source domains and 3 named legal instruments, drawn on across 53 jurisdictions in both the crypto and e-money regimes.

Legislation and handbooks

Named legal instruments and regulator handbooks referenced across the dataset. Deduplicated; the specific figures each one supports are cited on the relevant cell.

MiCA Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, Art. 65
MiCA Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, Art. 67
MiCA Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, Title V

Source domains

Every domain a cited source links to, regulators and central banks, official registers, legislation portals and professional references, deduplicated and listed alphabetically. Links open in a new tab.

This is an aggregate list. Each figure is cited individually on its jurisdiction page and in the licensing matrix, where the source travels with the value and its verification date. Where sources conflict, the figure is flagged on the disputed and under-review page.

Informational only, not legal advice. A source appearing here means it was drawn on somewhere in the dataset; it does not tie any single figure to any single reference. Verify with the regulator and qualified counsel before acting.
