Licensed Companies
The companies that obtained licenses include:
This Crypto Asset Service Providers License enables crypto firms to function within the EU through a single member state's license.
The MiCA framework establishes a regulatory environment for crypto businesses and mandates that firms secure a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license from one country to operate throughout the EU.
As of December 30, countries must implement specific MiCA regulations, though many member states are still working on this.
"MiCA represents a pivotal moment for the European digital asset industry, and we’re proud to have worked collaboratively with the Dutch AFM to be among the first to embrace this new regulatory framework"
"MiCA na janela para a indústria de ativos digitais europeia, e estamos orgulhosos de ter trabalhando colaborativamente com o AFM neerlandês para ser um dos primeiros a abraçar esse novo marco regulatório.
Additionally, the Malta Financial Services Authority has authorized Socios.com for a class 3 Virtual Financial Assets Act license, which will permit it to function as a regulated service provider. Meanwhile, the UK has registered GSR Markets as part of its crypto regulation efforts.
