Cryptoasset Licensing & Regulatory Authorisations in Romania
ABM Global Compliance prepares and manages CASP authorisation applications under MiCA in Romania. From jurisdiction selection and gap analysis to complete application files and regulator liaison, we take your crypto business from plan to permission.
MiCA Authorisation Prepared for Supervisory Scrutiny
CASP authorisation is a rigorous process comparable to a traditional financial services licence. National competent authorities assess your programme of operations, governance and fit-and-proper standing, capital arrangements, client asset segregation, AML/CFT frameworks, market abuse surveillance, and DORA-aligned ICT resilience. They also expect genuine EU substance: a local entity, real offices, resident directors, and appointed compliance and AML officers.
We manage the entire authorisation journey. Our consultants map your services against the CASP categories, run the gap analysis, select the right home member state, draft the complete application file, and handle every regulator question through supervisory review. Firms already holding MiFID, EMI, or payment licences also benefit from our support with the simplified Article 60 notification route.

CASP Licensing Questions Answered
Which CASP services need MiCA authorisation?
MiCA defines ten cryptoasset services including custody, exchange, trading platform operation, order execution, advice, and transfers. We map your model precisely against the categories you need.
What capital does a CASP need?
Initial capital under MiCA ranges from EUR 50,000 to EUR 150,000 depending on your service classes, alongside ongoing prudential safeguards scaled to your business, including Law 129/2019 duties.
Which EU country is best for CASPs?
It depends on your model, timeline, and target markets. Review speed and supervisory culture differ meaningfully between member states, and we compare them before recommending.
Does MiCA require real EU substance?
Yes. Regulators expect an EU-incorporated entity, physical offices, resident directors, and appointed compliance and AML officers, with genuine decision-making happening inside the Union.
Can existing licences simplify CASP authorisation?
Yes. Credit institutions, MiFID firms, EMIs, and payment institutions can use simplified notification procedures under Article 60, which we prepare and manage.
