The Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR) is reshaping the landscape of EU crypto regulation, with a focus on fostering innovation while ensuring consumer protection. Starting December 30, 2024, crypto asset service providers (CASPs) in the EU must secure authorisation to continue operating across the EU. A transitional period runs until December 29, 2025, for existing virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to operate without a MiCAR licence. CASPs must meet stringent regulatory requirements, including governance, client asset protection, transparency, and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance. Early engagement with regulators is key to successfully navigating the authorisation process. Get in touch for a free consultation and ensure your business is MiCAR-ready!
