Crypto firms face tougher rules with MiCA taking full effect in Cyprus

The end of the transition period brings stricter oversight of anti-money laundering compliance, customer protection, and the operations of crypto service providers.

  • Cyprus has fully implemented the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation, requiring all crypto service providers to obtain authorization.
  • CySEC has licensed 22 Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) and is scrutinizing AML/CFT compliance, customer protection, and operations.
  • Unauthorized providers risk regulatory action, and customers using them lack MiCA's safeguards, highlighting the importance of verifying company authorization.
