CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider)
A Crypto-Asset Service Provider license is the harmonised European authorization for offering cryptoasset services such as custody, exchange, transfer, and advice under the MiCA framework. It provides a single, passportable license across the EU's regulated digital-asset market.
CASPs must satisfy capital, governance, custody, and conduct requirements, alongside comprehensive AML/KYC and market-abuse controls. The license is the gateway for crypto businesses that want to operate across the European Union with a unified, future-proof regulatory status.
