Digital Assets & MiCAR

The regulatory framework for crypto services is in place. Those who master it turn supervisory law into a competitive advantage.

Market situation

With MiCAR, a uniform supervisory regime for crypto service providers applies across the EEA. In Liechtenstein MiCAR applies directly; providers must demonstrate governance, risk and compliance structures at MiCAR level. In Switzerland, the upcoming AMLA revision extends due diligence duties, while SRO affiliation remains the regulatory anchor for many providers. In parallel, stablecoins and tokenisation projects are professionalising towards institutional use.

For banks

Banks building a digital asset offering get both from us: the risk management and governance language of a global bank and the operational knowledge of custody, OTC, market making and blockchain analytics. That shortens internal learning curves and external discussions.
