CASP

Crypto-asset service provider, a defined category under MiCA. Its scope should not be assumed identical to FATF’s VASP category.

A concrete example

Check the authorised legal entity and the specific services in the official register.

In context

MiCA includes requirements concerning issuers, disclosures and crypto-asset service providers, or CASPs. The longest permitted transitional period ended on 1 July 2026. A historical national registration should therefore not be presented as equivalent to a current MiCA authorisation; check the relevant official register and permitted services.
