Regulation Timeline
2024
MiCA took effect for different components of the European crypto-asset market.
2025
FIN-FSA recorded CASP authorisation applications during the MiCA transition.
Official source for these events: FIN-FSA: MiCA AML/CFT disclosures for CASP authorisation (supports: regulatory status, regulatory framework, regulatory timeline) · FIN-FSA: April 2025 MiCA transition update and CASP authorisation applications (supports: regulatory timeline)
Regulatory Framework
MiCA replaced the earlier national framework for virtual-asset providers. FIN-FSA says former providers must apply for CASP authorisation if they intend to continue. Do not assert that a brand is authorised without checking its current status in national or ESMA registers.
