MiCA - Licenses / Permits

The MiCA Regulation lays down rules on transparency and disclosure requirements in relation to the issuance of crypto-assets and their admission to trading, the authorisation and supervision of crypto-asset service providers, asset-backed token issuers and electronic money token issuers, the operation, organization, and management of asset-backed token issuers, electronic money token issuers, and crypto-asset service providers, as well as other aspects of crypto-asset markets. 

We are acting as the applicant's legal representative in the ongoing authorization proceedings before the National Bank of Slovakia.
