MiCA Compliance — Services Overview

End-to-end compliance support for CASP authorization and ongoing regulatory obligations under MiCA, DORA, and EU AML/CFT frameworks.

When You Don't Need All Four Compliance Services
  • You already have in-house compliance staff covering AML/KYC and DORA: these services are built to fill gaps, not duplicate work you're already resourced for — a one-off legal opinion may answer a specific question instead.
  • You haven't started a CASP application yet: AML/KYC and DORA frameworks are built for entities actively authorizing or already authorized — a token classification legal opinion is often the more useful first step.
  • Your business has no EU nexus: MiCA compliance obligations, including AML/KYC and DORA, only apply to entities operating in or targeting the EU.
  • You need a single quick answer, not a multi-week engagement: legal opinions are built for narrow questions, while AML/KYC and DORA are multi-week program builds.

MiCA Compliance — FAQ

Is AML compliance mandatory for a MiCA CASP license?
Yes. All CASP applicants must submit a complete AML/CFT policy, KYC/CDD procedures, transaction monitoring framework, and designated MLRO (Money Laundering Reporting Officer) as part of the NCA application.
What is DORA and does it apply to CASPs?
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) applies to financial entities including CASPs. It requires ICT risk management frameworks, incident reporting procedures, resilience testing, and third-party risk management. DORA applies from January 2025.
Do we need legal opinions for token classification?
Yes, for any business issuing tokens or operating at the boundary of MiCA scope, a legal opinion on token classification (utility/security/ART/EMT) is essential to determine the correct regulatory treatment and avoid enforcement risk.
How long does AML/KYC framework implementation take?
A complete AML/KYC framework for a CASP application typically takes 4–8 weeks to develop, depending on business model complexity. We deliver policy documents, procedures, risk assessments, and MLRO designation support.
