Focus 1
What MiCA covers
Crypto-asset issuers, asset-referenced tokens, e-money tokens, and CASPs such as exchanges, custodians, brokers, advisers, portfolio managers, and transfer services.
Framework hub
MiCA
MiCA applies to crypto-asset services and crypto-asset issuers offered in the EU, regardless of where the provider is established.
EU baseline
If you are established in the EU, operate in the EU, or place this product or service on the EU market, treat this as a first-order compliance check. Non-EU reach language means outsiders can also be covered, not that EU companies are outside scope.
Review scopeFocus 2
CASP obligations
Authorisation, white papers, AML/CFT alignment, safeguarding client assets, transparency, disclosure, and market abuse prevention.
Focus 3
Luxembourg angle
CSSF is Luxembourg's MiCA competent authority and is monitored through the CSSF digital source.
