What Is MiCA?
The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is the European Union's unified legal framework for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). It replaces the patchwork of national rules with a single licensing regime valid across all EU member states.
Who Needs to Comply?
MiCA applies to exchanges, custodial wallet providers, token issuers and trading platforms operating in or targeting EU customers.
Key Requirements
Businesses must meet minimum capital requirements, implement robust governance, publish white papers for token offerings, and maintain strict AML and consumer protection controls.
A Leading National Authorization Route: the Czech Republic
Among the 27 EU/EEA member states now issuing CASP authorizations, the Czech National Bank has emerged as one of the most efficient and predictable regulators. See our dedicated CASP License in the Czech Republic guide for the full filing process, capital thresholds and timelines.
