# Plexo Institute > Stablecoin regulatory intelligence — track licensing frameworks, issuer > compliance, CBDC projects, and Travel Rule status across jurisdictions. > Maintained by Anton Titov. Plexo Institute publishes long-form research, structured frameworks, and a public data layer covering stablecoin issuers, exchanges, custodians, and jurisdictional regimes. The data layer is parsed from official government, regulator, central-bank, and public registry sources where those sources are available, with Plexo editorial review before publication. Jurisdiction coverage tracks licensing frameworks, Travel Rule posture, CBDC signals, stablecoin policy, and source-backed regulated-entity context. Coverage is intentionally described by scope rather than by a fixed count because source availability and publication readiness change over time.

It is not a narrow VASP or CASP count. - **Tracked regulated-entity records**: 13,238 (as of 2026-06-15) - **Tracked jurisdictions**: 207 - **Scope**: records with a non-void recorded status; this is a broad registry measure spanning banks, payment institutions, e-money institutions, and crypto/virtual-asset service providers — not a narrow VASP or CASP total. - **Method**: each published entity page links to its available regulator or registry source evidence; see the [Data Policy](https://plexo.institute/legal/data-policy) for provenance and limitations. - **Key regimes mapped**: MiCA (EU), VARA (Dubai/UAE), MAS PSA (Singapore), ADGM FRT (Abu Dhabi/UAE), UK FSMA. - **Trend note**: the current 11-day baseline is a coverage snapshot, not a year-over-year growth measure. ## Legal - [Legal Disclaimer](https://plexo.institute/legal/disclaimer) - [Data Policy](https://plexo.institute/legal/data-policy) - [Cookie Policy](https://plexo.institute/legal/cookie-policy) ## Optional - [Archive](https://plexo.institute/archive): Full reading archive with filters by tag, kind, and topic. - [Sitemap (XML)](https://plexo.institute/sitemap.xml) - [Image Sitemap (XML)](https://plexo.institute/image-sitemap.xml)
