A CASP Licensing Framework establishes the regulatory requirements for entities offering crypto-asset services. This framework mandates that Crypto-Asset Service Providers obtain official authorization to operate, ensuring adherence to standards for consumer protection, market integrity, and financial stability. It covers activities such as exchange, custody, and transfer of digital assets. Compliance helps to mitigate risks associated with illicit financial operations and operational failures.
Context
Jurisdictions globally are progressing with the implementation of CASP licensing frameworks, aiming to bring greater oversight to the digital asset market. The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation provides a prominent example, creating a uniform standard for service providers within its member states. The primary discussion revolves around balancing regulatory stringency with fostering innovation in the crypto sector.
MiCA's full application mandates a unified EU licensing framework for CASPs, fundamentally shifting compliance from national rules to a single bloc-wide standard.
