The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is reshaping Europe’s crypto landscape. From 30 December 2024, any firm serving EU customers must hold a CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider) licence issued in Poland or another member state.

With the countdown underway, now is the moment to secure your licence and put robust compliance in place. Scorechain’s blockchain-analytics platform makes the process straightforward.

To operate legally under MiCA, businesses must obtain a CASP license before the transition period ends:

December 30, 2024 – MiCA regulations officially take effect.
2025 TBD – Final deadline to submit CASP license applications (exact date subject to confirmation).
