Navigating MiCA Compliance: Why Financial Transparency is Now a Priority for Crypto Businesses
The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is the European Union’s first comprehensive legal framework for crypto-assets, and service providers. Aimed at enhancing investor protection, financial stability and market integrity, MiCA introduces licensing, disclosure, and capital requirements for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) across the EU.
Although the regulation came into force in mid-2023, crypto companies in Lithuania have been granted until 1 January 2026 to become fully compliant – an extension that reflects both the complexity of implementation and the volume of firms now seeking authorisation.
Baltic Amadeus team recently spoke with our management and finance experts Ignas Aničas and Julius Leonavičius. Together we discussed how MiCA is already reshaping the industry, what compliance looks like in practice, and why financial transparency is becoming a defining standard for all crypto service providers.
