MiCA Adaptation in the EU and Alternative Jurisdictions for Crypto Licensing

MiCA introduces uniform standards and requirements for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs and VASPs), including crucial aspects such as capital adequacy, corporate governance, client asset protection, and stringent anti-money laundering (AML) measures. AdamSmith.lt actively supports numerous businesses adapting to these new European standards, closely monitoring regulatory developments and providing clients with comprehensive and efficient solutions. Our support includes developing and implementing documentation aligned with MiCA and the standards set by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
