Regulatory Framework
The Bank of Lithuania is the national competent authority for licensing and supervising crypto-asset market participants under MiCA. A non-exempt undertaking must apply for and obtain a licence before providing crypto-asset services; the licence specifies the authorised services. Exempt financial institutions may begin certain services only when the authority considers their notification complete. Check the current licence, contracting entity, and exact service scope before acting.
