CASP license under MiCA: we represent applicants before the CNB

We currently represent applicants for a CASP license under the MiCA Regulation and prepare their documentation for the CNB licensing procedure.

Since 1 July 2026, only firms authorized under MiCA may provide crypto-asset services such as exchange, custody, transfers or operating a trading platform. The CNB procedure is demanding: of 249 applications, the CNB had authorized 11 by 1 July 2026. Most applications failed because of incomplete or overly generic documentation.

We prepare the complete application and its annexes for applicants: a business plan with financial projections, the calculation of capital requirements, internal policies under MiCA, DORA and AML documentation, documents on members of management and holders of qualifying holdings, and procedures for safeguarding client assets. We communicate with the CNB on our clients’ behalf and respond to its requests.

Once the license is granted, we provide compliance, AML, internal audit and CNB reporting.

How the procedure works and why applications most often fail is summarized in our CASP license guide. Contact us at info@stuchlikova.com.
