Frequently Asked Questions:

MiCA's CASP provisions apply from 30 December 2024. A national transition period of up to 18 months lets existing VASP registrants continue operating while their CASP application is in process, but only if filed within the national cut-off.

Yes. A CASP authorization granted by any EU competent authority grants the right to provide the listed services in all 27 member states on a freedom-of-services or branch basis, subject to notification.

The statutory review clock is 40 working days for completeness plus up to 5 months substantive review. In practice, first-time CASP applications run 6–12 months end-to-end depending on member state and application quality.

Yes. MiCA requires effective direction from within the Union — at least two management body members must actually run the business from the home member state. Mailbox setups are rejected.

National regimes are being repealed. Your existing registration is valid only during the transitional period. After that, only CASP authorization allows you to serve EU clients legally.
