Regulatory Framework
The 2024 reform placed crypto-asset service providers under SPK regulation and supervision. Two March 2025 communiques set establishment, activity, operation, and capital-adequacy rules. The operating-entities list is temporary and SPK expressly warns that inclusion does not mean authorisation.
