So with MiCA now in play, crypto businesses are stepping into a whole new regulatory scene. There are two licensing paths available: VASP and CASP.
VASP, which stands for Virtual Asset Service Provider, covers activities not touched by MiCA like:
- P2P crypto trading
- NFT marketplaces
- Basic non-custodial wallets
CASP, or Crypto Asset Service Provider, is under MiCA rules and is necessary for things like:
- Holding crypto assets
- Centralized exchanges
- Issuing and selling crypto assets
What's cool about the Czech Republic is that it offers some flexibility. Companies can pick the licensing model that suits them best or even run both at the same time. They can use VASP for more innovative, lightly regulated stuff and CASP for the heavier compliance requirements.
**********************************
Moving from VASP to CASP
With MiCA rolling out, now's the time for businesses to get ready. CASP licensing is going to be a must for regulated services soon. Those who jump on this early will score some serious advantages like:
✔️ Clear regulatory landscape
✔️ Quicker approval times
✔️ Increased trust from clients and investors
