VASP Registration & MiCA Compliance
VASP registration, FCA crypto asset registration, and full preparation for MiCA CASP authorisation — for crypto businesses entering or operating in UK and EU regulated markets.
What this service covers
The regulatory path for crypto businesses in the UK and EU is now clearly defined. VASP registration with a financial intelligence unit, FCA crypto asset registration, and MiCA CASP authorisation each have specific requirements — and the documentation, policies, and governance structures needed for each differ in important ways. Starting the process without understanding which regime applies wastes time and money.
We map your activities to the correct registration or authorisation category, prepare the complete application package, and manage regulator liaison through to approval. This covers jurisdiction pathway advice, AML policy development specific to crypto business models, whitepaper review where required, and governance documentation. The goal is a complete, regulator-ready file — not just a form submission.
