Webinar: The 2026 Digital Asset Compliance Masterclass – Module III: The Regulatory Pivot – From VASP to MiCA’s CASP

May 14 @ 11:00 am - 11:30 am

Description:

The 1st July 2026 deadline marks the end of the transitional “grandfathering” period for many EU firms. The pivot from national VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) registrations to a full MiCA CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider) authorisation is not just a name change, it is a total overhaul of capital, governance, and operational standards.

In this 30-minute session, we conduct a “Transition Post-Mortem” for firms still in the pipeline. We explore the “Single Passport” opportunity and the high bar of entry that differentiates a CASP from a legacy VASP in the eyes of the regulator.

In this session we will explore:

  • The CASP Classes (1, 2, 3): Determining your capital reserve requirements (€50k–€150k) based on your specific service scope.
  • Passporting Rights: How to leverage a single authorisation to operate seamlessly across all 27 EU Member States.
  • Physical Substance & Governance: Meeting the “Fit and Proper” requirements for directors and ensuring sufficient local operational substance.
  • Asset Segregation: Implementing MiCA-compliant daily reconciliations and robust safeguarding for client funds and tokens.

Who Should Attend

  • Founders and CEOs of crypto firms seeking to scale across the European market.
  • Legal Counsel managing the CASP application and notification process.
  • Operations Directors responsible for IT security and daily asset reconciliation.
