How to become authorised
MiCA authorisation is the EU licence that lets you serve crypto customers across the EEA with a passport — and stay on the right side of the July 2026 grandfathering cliff. Built by regulatory experts at GRT Consulting.
Why get authorised
- EEA passport — once home-state authorised as a CASP, notify and serve other Member States without a new full licence each time.
- Legal certainty — operate crypto-asset services (custody, exchange, brokerage, advice, platforms…) under a clear EU rulebook instead of grey-area national regimes.
- Client and banking trust — counterparties, banks and institutional clients increasingly expect an authorised CASP / issuer, not an unregistered offshore desk.
- Avoid NCASP / enforcement risk — operating without authorisation after transitional windows close can put you on warning lists and expose you to NCA action.
- Access to listed services — trading platforms, custody and exchange services for EU users increasingly require a MiCA-authorised provider.
Who should aim for it
- Firms with EU / EEA customers — retail or professional — for crypto-asset services on a professional basis.
- Businesses trading, broking, custodising or advising in the EU, or operating an EU trading platform.
- Exchanges and brokers marketing to the EU or onboarding EU residents.
- ART / EMT issuers offering tokens to the public or seeking admission to trading in the Union.
- Groups that want a single EU home licence and passport rather than patchwork national permissions.
- Firms approaching the 1 July 2026 outer grandfathering date that still rely on transitional national crypto permissions.
UK is a different regime
The United Kingdom is not in MiCA. FCA cryptoasset registration (or a future FSMA crypto permission) does not authorise EU activity, and a MiCA CASP licence does not authorise UK activity. If you serve UK customers or carry on cryptoasset activity in the UK, you need a separate UK path — use the UK diagnostic below. If you serve both, plan for two regimes.
