Bitgo Europe announced that its Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform is now accessible to eligible VASPs, fintech firms, and digital‑asset platforms as they align with the European Union’s MiCAR regulatory regime.
Regulatory Shift Under MiCAR
MiCAR has supplanted the patchwork of national crypto‑registration rules across the European Economic Area with a unified authorization system for crypto‑asset service providers (CASPs). The new framework forces businesses that previously operated under country‑specific VASP licences to adapt swiftly to the pan‑EU standards.
Lithuania’s deadline for legacy VASPs closed on 31 December 2025, while Poland’s domestic rollout remains uncertain as the 1 July 2026 MiCAR transition date looms. These timelines generate concrete pressure for firms seeking compliance before the EU‑wide cut‑off.
