What’s more, it will facilitate adoption across the EU when the EU Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) Regulations take effect, which is expected in two years. The MiCA framework will give passporting rights to crypto licenses that comply with it.

The license from Lithuania is a milestone in our ongoing journey to become fully licensed and regulated in our key markets around the world. I’m beyond proud of the hard work our team has put in to meet the stringent criteria of the financial regulatory bodies in Lithuania and to protect our users with strong anti-money laundering policies.
