MiCA Authorisation & Regulatory Readiness Advisory
At ABM Global Compliance, we help cryptoasset businesses prepare for the authorisation process by assessing regulatory requirements, coordinating application readiness and strengthening the frameworks supporting their proposed operations. ABM helps cryptoasset businesses approach the Cyprus authorisation process with greater clarity, structure and preparedness, creating a stronger foundation for long-term operations within the European cryptoasset market.
Supporting Cryptoasset Businesses Through Cyprus’s Regulatory Authorisation Environment
The introduction of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) has established a harmonised regulatory framework for cryptoasset activities within its scope across the European Union. At ABM Global Compliance, we help cryptoasset businesses prepare for the authorisation process by assessing regulatory requirements, coordinating application readiness and strengthening the frameworks supporting their proposed operations.
For businesses seeking to provide regulated cryptoasset services from Cyprus, authorisation requires more than preparing an application. Firms need to demonstrate that their business model, governance, compliance arrangements, operational structure and internal controls are appropriate for the activities they intend to conduct. Our practical, risk-based approach supports sustainable growth. This supports long-term regulatory confidence across the organisation.

Your Questions Answered
What does CySEC expect from applicants?
Substance over paperwork: credible governance with fit-and-proper leadership, a realistic business plan, effective AML/CFT arrangements, adequate capital, and genuine operational readiness before submission.
How long does authorisation usually take?
Several months to a year depending on licence type, plus preparation time. Complete, well-evidenced applications move through regulatory review considerably faster than incomplete ones.
Can you prepare the application for us?
We prepare it with you. Our specialists draft the documentation and build the frameworks behind it, while your leadership owns the business plan and regulatory relationship.
What happens after the licence is granted?
Supervision begins. Governance, reporting, AML/CFT, and notification obligations apply from day one, so we help newly authorised firms move into sustainable ongoing compliance.
Do you support passporting into other countries?
Yes. Cypriot authorisation can generally be passported across the EU through host-state notifications, and we support the process including the obligations that remain local.
