Licensed Status Changes Everything for CASPs
MiCA authorisation demands governance, prudential safeguards from EUR 50,000 to 150,000, custody arrangements, and conduct rules, with national transition windows closing. In Latvia, that framework lands on a market with its own character: Riga is building fintech ambitions on cleaned-up foundations, with Latvijas Banka as single supervisor and licensing counterpart. Layered onto the EU rulebook sit national requirements including AML Law.
Supervisors are building crypto expertise fast, and early enforcement will define expectations sector-wide, making clean compliance a market differentiator. In a market shaped by a proven post-ABLV transformation under one integrated supervisor, Latvijas Banka has little patience for arrangements imported unchanged from elsewhere. Operating without authorisation now means leaving the EU market. Our consultants build compliance for Latvia specifically.

CASP Compliance Questions Answered
What services require CASP authorisation?
MiCA covers ten service classes including custody, exchange, execution, advice, and portfolio management of cryptoassets, each carrying specific prudential and conduct requirements.
What capital does a CASP need?
Prudential safeguards range from EUR 50,000 to 150,000 depending on service classes, alongside insurance or comparable guarantees, with governance and systems requirements on top, including AML Law duties.
Can CASPs passport across the EU?
Yes. MiCA authorisation in one member state passports across all EU markets through notification, replacing the fragmented national regimes crypto previously faced.
What is the Travel Rule for crypto?
Transfer of funds rules require originator and beneficiary information to accompany cryptoasset transfers, demanding technical solutions and counterparty due diligence we help implement.
Do existing crypto firms need new authorisation?
Yes. Firms registered under national regimes must obtain MiCA authorisation as transition windows close, and we manage that conversion end to end.
