We prepare and manage your application for authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA), filed with the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority.
Under MiCA a person may provide crypto-asset services in the European Union only if it is authorised as a crypto-asset service provider, or is one of the other financial entities listed in the regulation (Article 59 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114). The application is submitted to the competent authority of the home Member State (Article 62). For a company established in Estonia that is the Financial Supervision Authority (Finantsinspektsioon).
Our fee covers the preparation and management of the application: we map your planned services to the MiCA service list and the class they fall into, prepare the programme of operations and the governance, compliance and internal-control documents, coordinate the fit-and-proper information about managers and qualifying shareholders, and handle the correspondence with the authority until it makes its decision. Add-ons such as a crypto-asset white paper, Travel Rule set-up and custody policies are priced separately below.
MiCA groups crypto-asset service providers into three classes. Each class has a permanent minimum capital requirement (Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114):
The prudential safeguards must at all times equal at least the higher of that minimum capital and one quarter of the fixed overheads of the preceding year (Article 67(1)). The capital belongs to the company; it is not part of our fee.
State and supervisory fees are charged separately. For a crypto-asset service provider the Financial Supervision Authority charges a procedural fee of 3,000 euros for a first authorisation (Financial Supervision Authority Act § 45³(2), in the wording in force on 29 September 2026 — Riigi Teataja). Annual supervision fees follow after authorisation.
We do not grant the authorisation and cannot promise that it will be granted, or when: that decision belongs to the Financial Supervision Authority. We do not provide the regulatory capital, and we do not act as your management board or compliance officer. Our own licence (FIU000117, Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit) concerns our company services; it is not a crypto-asset authorisation and does not cover your business.
This price is our professional fee for the corporate and regulatory work described. It is not the price of a licence and does not include state or supervisory fees, regulatory capital, or third-party costs. The authorisation is granted by the competent supervisory authority.
The class follows from the services you will provide. Transfer, advice or order handling alone is Class 1. Adding custody or exchange of crypto-assets for money or other crypto-assets makes it Class 2. Operating a trading platform makes it Class 3. We confirm the class in the quote after reviewing your planned services.
No. Under Annex IV of MiCA, custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients is a Class 2 service. Class 3 adds the operation of a trading platform. A Class 3 provider may also provide the Class 2 services, including custody.
No. The minimum capital (50,000, 125,000 or 150,000 euros depending on the class) must be held by your company. Our price is our professional fee only.
MiCA allows an authorised crypto-asset service provider to provide services in other Member States after it has submitted the information required by Article 65 of the regulation to its home authority. We can prepare that notification as part of the project.
No. The Financial Supervision Authority decides whether to grant the authorisation. We prepare a complete application and manage the process, but we cannot promise the outcome or its timing.
It notifies its home authority under Article 65 of MiCA with the list of Member States, the services, the starting date and its other activities. The home authority forwards the information within ten working days; the CASP may start from the date of that communication and at the latest on the fifteenth calendar day after its complete submission.
No. It activates the regulatory passport. Local consumer, marketing, language and tax rules in each host state still apply; a review of them is not part of this service.
Among others: prudential safeguards at all times (Article 67 of MiCA), governance and internal control (Article 68), complaints handling (Article 71), conflicts of interest (Article 72), outsourcing controls (Article 73), custody rules where relevant (Article 75), DORA and the Travel Rule. Our monthly support helps you keep policies and reporting current.
No. Your compliance officer and management board must be your own people, assessed by the authority. The support gives them answers, updated policies and a reporting calendar.
An offeror of crypto-assets to the public, or a person seeking admission to trading, must in principle draw up and notify a white paper under Title II of MiCA, unless an exemption applies. Asset-referenced and e-money tokens follow separate rules.
