Once upon a time in Vilnius6 Mar 2026 13:05
Once upon a time in Vilnius, Myriad Capital's loyal clients—seasoned traders who'd been happily slinging stocks, ETFs, CFDs, and futures through their sleek app—started whispering (and then outright demanding) the same thing: "Hey, we want in on crypto too, but not the wild-west exchanges. We want it regulated, safe, with proper custody, fiat on-ramps, and no drama." These weren't degens chasing 100x memecoins; they were Myriad's retail and pro investors, already trusting the brokerage's MiFID-compliant setup, low fees, and Lithuanian roots.
They wanted to dip into Bitcoin, Ethereum, or whatever blue-chip crypto without leaving the familiar Myriad ecosystem or risking shady offshore platforms. Gediminas Trumpis and the team listened. Instead of bolting crypto features straight onto the main brokerage (and risking regulatory headaches), they did the smart, compliant thing: in September 2024, they quietly set up UAB Micar Assets as a dedicated, majority-owned subsidiary. Fast-forward through paperwork, AML policies, capital requirements, fit-and-proper checks, and a thorough Bank of Lithuania review—and boom, by early March 2026, Micar snags one of Lithuania's first four full MiCA CASP licenses.
Now, Myriad clients get seamless access to regulated crypto custody, exchanges, and order execution across the EU, all under the same trusted umbrella. It's not about reinventing DeFi; it's about giving existing clients what they've been asking for: crypto done the boring-but-safe way, with real substance from a proven brokerage backing it.Moral of the story? When your clients knock on the door for crypto, you don't ignore them—you build a proper regulated door
Micar isn't a flashy startup; it's the logical next chapter for a brokerage that's been around for over a decade, turning client demand into EU-compliant reality. Au contraire to the "little substance" shade—it's substance where it counts: regulatory green light, local ownership, and a clear path to serve the people already in the tent.
