Who needs a MiCA (CASP) license
If you provide or plan to provide crypto services to clients in the EU, in 2026 you must bring your operations into compliance with MiCA. Most commonly, CASPs include:
- Crypto exchanges, brokers, exchangers (crypto↔crypto / crypto↔fiat)
- Custodial wallet and asset custody providers
- P2P / trading platforms and order execution services
- Providers of payment solutions using crypto-assets
- Operators of exchange, transfer, and remittance of crypto-assets
- Crypto fintechs with onboarding / KYC and liquidity aggregators
- Projects providing investment services in crypto-assets
Important: MiCA establishes uniform rules across the EU.
A license obtained in one Member State can be used to operate throughout the EU
(under the “passporting” procedure).
Key MiCA requirements for CASPs
Legal presence in the EU
The company must be incorporated in an EU Member State and have a transparent corporate structure.
- UBO disclosure
- Corporate governance
- Fit and proper reputation of owners and directors
Capital, compliance, audit
Internal policies, controls, reporting, and financial discipline are required.
- Minimum capital requirements (depending on services)
- AML/CFT, KYC, and a risk-based approach
- Segregation / safeguarding of client assets

Parameters (capital, staff roles, procedures) depend on your business model and scope of services.
