MiCA & digital asset licensing
Turn a complex licensing ambition into a defined application project. We support MiCA/CASP preparation and digital asset regulatory planning around your business model.
FOCUSED SUPPORT
A clear scope.
A practical next step.
An exchange, custody service or brokerage needs a route that matches what it does and where its clients are. FinanceIQ Hub helps organise the jurisdiction assessment, corporate information and application workstream.

IS THIS FOR YOU?
For digital asset businesses planning regulated growth
Founders, exchanges, wallet operators and established financial businesses can use this service to prepare a market-entry or expansion project. We begin with your actual activities, including custody arrangements and the services delivered to customers.
FROM PLAN TO PROGRESS
Build a licensing project around the right questions
Define the service perimeter
Map the activities, clients, countries and delivery model. Separate the planned services so each can be assessed clearly.
Compare the relevant routes
Organise the jurisdiction and authority assessment around your intended market. An EU MiCA/CASP project and a Canadian registration are distinct routes.
Prepare the application workstream
Coordinate business plans, corporate information, governance and compliance materials. Establish owners for missing documents and operational decisions.
Support submission and follow-up
Bring the application materials together and coordinate responses within the agreed engagement. Plan related banking and provider onboarding in parallel where appropriate.
YOUR STARTING POINT
What helps us scope your licensing project?
The most useful first document is a concise operating model, not a list of preferred licence names.
- Services offered and assets supported
- Target jurisdictions and customer segments
- Custody, outsourcing and technology arrangements
- Company structure, management and intended staffing
- Current permissions and available compliance materials
MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION
Choose a route your business can support
Governance and operational readiness
Documentation should describe a business that can be implemented. Staffing, responsibility allocation and outsourced services affect the preparation work.
Market access is specific
A registration in one jurisdiction does not provide unrestricted permission to serve every market. We keep the proposed route and intended client geography connected.
THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER
MiCA & digital asset licensing: your questions
Can you support a MiCA/CASP application?
We support assessment and application preparation within an agreed scope, including organising the business model, corporate information and documentation workstream.
Can an existing registration replace a MiCA assessment?
An existing registration does not settle the current EU authorisation question. The intended services and applicable framework need their own assessment.
Can banking preparation run alongside licensing?
Yes. A consistent business description helps both workstreams, while the authority and account provider make separate decisions.
How are costs and timelines determined?
Service complexity, jurisdictions, governance and document readiness affect the scope. Authority review and follow-up also influence timing; there is no universal approval deadline.
CONNECT THE NEXT STEP
Build the wider picture
For a Canadian project, explore MSB registration. Connect the regulatory plan with company formation and business account preparation.
