Regulation Timeline
2024
MiCA became applicable to crypto-asset services in the EU during 2024.
2025
Sweden's transition required existing operators to apply for authorisation before October 2025.
2026
FI stated that only authorised firms can continue offering crypto services in Sweden after the transition ended.

Regulatory Framework
As a main rule, FI requires authorisation to provide crypto-asset services under MiCA. Some regulated financial entities can use a notification procedure for equivalent services. Check the FI or ESMA register using the provider's legal name; a familiar brand or authorisation does not guarantee a transaction or asset.
