We,ve ticked all the boxes so far for MiCA14 Oct 2025 08:52
Lithuania adopted a shorter MiCA transition period. While MiCA generally became applicable for CASPs on December 30, 2024, and stablecoin provisions on June 30, 2024, Lithuania initially set a deadline for all Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to obtain a MiCA license by June 1, 2025.
However, the final transition deadline for existing CASPs registered before December 30, 2024, in Lithuania has been extended to January 1, 2026. After this date, providing crypto-asset services without a MiCA license will be illegal.
The Bank of Lithuania oversees the MiCA licensing process. Challenges reported in preliminary applications include incomplete documentation, unclear fund sources, and concerns about shareholder/manager reputations.
Lithuanian requirements include having at least one senior manager physically present in Lithuania and shareholders with a 10% or greater stake providing detailed bank statements and transaction histories.
