CySEC CASP as the path to MiCA

While the final vote on the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation has been now postponed to April, a marathon has commenced for crypto-asset services providers to ensure compliance and business continuity. Whether this delay is the result of translating the rules into the 24 EU official languages or the collapse of crypto-ventures such as FTX and others, it has never been more valuable to use this time and ensure MiCA-compliance for operating Crypto-Asset Services Providers (CASP).

Throughout this article, the SALVUS Crypto-Assets team discusses the MiCA framework and provides reasons why all crypto-asset services providers should pursue more than a registration with a European securities and exchange regulator such as CySEC, instead of a mere Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), as follows:

1. Registration with an FIU in the MiCA era
2. The transitional period
3. MiCA-aligned regimes
4. MiCA through CySE
5. How SALVUS can assist a CASP registration under CySEC
