    MiCA CASP License FAQs

    MiCA is expected to come into effect for crypto exchanges in December 2024, with license applications expected to open on January 1, 2025
    Is MiCA compliance mandatory for all existing VASPs in the EU?

    Yes, MiCA compliance is mandatory for all existing Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) operating in the European Union. Under MiCA, VASPs will be reclassified as Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) and must obtain the new license to operate legally in the EU.

    Who are exempt from MiCA legislation?

    Some entities are exempt from MiCA, including the European Central Bank, national central banks, and public authorities. Public international organizations and persons who provide crypto-asset services exclusively for their parent companies, for their own subsidiaries or for other subsidiaries of their parent companies

    When do VASPs need to be compliant with MiCA?

    MiCA is expected to come into effect for crypto exchanges in December 2024, with license applications expected to open on January 1, 2025 (though this may vary by jurisdiction). Existing VASPs will have a limited transition period, which also varies depending on the jurisdiction. If a VASP doesn’t apply for the CASP license within this period, their current VASP license will expire after six months.

    What are the key requirements under MiCA for existing VASPs?

    Under MiCA, existing Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) must meet several key requirements to continue operating legally within the EU:

    • Reclassification: Existing VASPs must transition to Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) by obtaining the MiCA CASP license.
    • AML Compliance: VASPs need to maintain robust Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures and internal control systems to meet the new standards.
    • Capital Requirements: VASPs must meet updated capital thresholds based on their services.
    • Reporting & Transparency: Enhanced transparency, record-keeping, and reporting obligations must be adhered to, particularly for customer information and financial data.
    • Local Presence: VASPs are required to establish a physical presence in the EU, including local management and compliance officers.
    • Consumer Protection: There are new measures to ensure better protection for customers and secure handling of assets.
    What are the key capital requirements for new CASPs?

    MiCA outlines different capital requirements for new CASPs (Crypto-Asset Service Providers) based on the services they provide:

    • Class 1 CASP: Requires €50,000 in capital for services like advising on and executing crypto-asset orders.
    • Class 2 CASP: Requires €125,000 for additional services, including exchanging crypto-assets for fiat or other crypto-assets, and operating a trading platform.
    • Class 3 CASP: Requires €150,000 for services that involve custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of third parties.

    Additionally, CASPs must maintain at least one bank account with an EU-based credit institution, ensuring proper financial oversight and stability.

    What happens if my business doesn’t comply with MiCA?

    If your business does not comply with the MiCA regulation, it may face several consequences, including:

    • Fines and Penalties: Non-compliance can result in financial penalties ranging from 3% to 12.5% of your business’s annual turnover, depending on the severity of the breach.
    • License Revocation: Failure to comply with MiCA requirements may lead to the suspension or revocation of your CASP license, preventing your business from operating within the EU.
    • Reputational Damage: Non-compliance can harm your business’s reputation, reducing trust from customers and investors.
    • Ban from Management Positions: Individuals in managerial positions may be banned from holding similar roles if found responsible for significant non-compliance issues.
    • Restricted Operations: Without proper compliance, your business may be restricted from offering certain services or expanding within the EU market.

    Ensuring compliance with MiCA is critical to avoid these risks and continue operating within the EU’s regulatory framework.

    How long does the MiCA licensing process take?

    The MiCA licensing process typically takes around 4 months, although it may take longer depending on the complexity of the application and the jurisdiction. After submitting the application, the regulator has 25 business days to review its completeness. Once the application is deemed complete, the regulator has 3 months to issue a decision.

    What documentation is required for the MiCA license application?

    Some of the most important documentation includes (see above to see the full list of documents needed):

    • Programme of Operations (detailing services and operations)
    • AML and risk management policies
    • Business continuity and internal control policies
    • Proof of capital requirements
    • IT and data security policies
    • Client asset safeguarding and insurance policies
    • Outsourcing policies, if applicable
    • Corporate governance and management structure documentation Each document must align with MiCA regulations and be tailored to your specific business operations.
    Will my business need to update its compliance policies to meet MiCA requirements?

    Yes, most businesses will need to update their compliance policies. MiCA requires enhanced AML procedures, robust risk management, secure IT systems, and comprehensive client asset protection measures. Additionally, businesses must align their governance structures with MiCA requirements, including having EU-based management and compliance officers.

    What are the benefits of being MiCA-compliant?

    Being MiCA-compliant offers several advantages:

    • Pan-EU operations: A MiCA CASP license allows you to operate legally across all EU member states.
    • Increased market trust: Compliance with unified regulations builds trust among clients and investors.
    • Operational clarity: MiCA provides clear rules for crypto businesses, reducing uncertainty.
    • Regulatory alignment: MiCA compliance ensures that your business meets stringent AML and security standards, protecting against penalties and legal risks.
