Stablecoin licensing in Seychelles

Virtual asset service providers need an FSA licence under a 2024 Act; the firms on its register are still under assessment. This page sets out the authorisations a stablecoin business needs in Seychelles, who grants each one and what it covers, alongside how many companies hold them today. The figures come from the registers Anvesan reads and are updated as those registers change.

Seychelles virtual asset service provider licence 100% 17

These 17 authorisations belong to 8 companies. The company-level records are in Atlas Pro.

What those authorisations permit

Scope not stated in the licence17

One authorisation can cover several activities, so these figures overlap.

The licences: who grants them, how long, what they cost

The statutory clock is the formal decision period, where the regulator publishes one. “Observed” is the real-world timeline reported by applicants, not a figure the regulator sets. Capital is the regulatory minimum, not legal or advisory fees. Where a figure is not yet available, we show “Unavailable”; where one exists but Anvesan has not verified it, we show “Not sourced”.

The Atlas column maps a licence to a tracked licence family only where the two are the same thing. Where they are not, it reads Not mapped, and the family counts are in Authorisations by licence above.

How these numbers are made

Registers read
The official registers used for this regime, named in the Registers read line. Where a public register does not provide a record, the source is identified separately.
Cadence
Checked daily. Changes are recorded when they appear in the register, together with the date they were seen. Last checked 21 September 2026.
Licence detail reviewed
23 September 2026. Counts are refreshed daily. Licence terms, timelines and capital thresholds are reviewed separately because they come from the underlying rules rather than the register.
Known gap
“Unavailable” means the figure does not yet exist or has not been published. “Not sourced” means the figure exists but Anvesan has not yet verified it. Neither is estimated.
