MiCA CASP · Authorised by the MFSA

Launch your own regulated crypto investment products across Europe, on a ready-to-go EU AIFM and MiCA-authorised platform.

Enter the European market under an existing authorisation, without having to build your own AIFM or CASP infrastructure.

Since 1 July 2026, MiCA is the single rulebook for the crypto-asset services it covers across the European Union. Altarius did not wait for the deadline: authorised by the Malta Financial Services Authority, the group secured its place.

Regulated in Malta since 2004. Offices in Malta, Geneva and Munich.

Regulation

What MiCA changes

One European framework replaces twenty-seven national regimes. Compliance stops being a filing and becomes a way of operating.

BEFORE

A national patchwork

More than 2,000 providers operated under fragmented national registrations, with uneven rules on capital, custody and disclosure.

1 JULY 2026

The transition ends

National registrations no longer give access to EU clients. CASP authorisation is now a prerequisite to accessing the European market, and providers without one need a solution to keep serving it.

NOW

One rulebook, ongoing supervision

Authorised CASPs operate under a single framework: prudential capital, vetted governance, client-asset segregation requirements, AML and KYC on every relationship, ongoing review.

The stance

In crypto, many talk.
Altarius does, and holds the licence.

Twenty years of regulated asset management. Not a pivot, not a promise: an operating record, now carrying MiCA authorisation.

FAQ

Three questions we actually get

The EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation: the first harmonised framework for the authorisation and supervision of crypto-asset service providers, with market-abuse rules and client protection, across all twenty-seven member states. It covers the crypto-asset services MiCA defines, among them reception and transmission of orders, portfolio management, custody, exchange and placing. Crypto-assets that qualify as financial instruments remain under MiFID, and activities outside those definitions fall outside MiCA.

The transitional period ended. National registrations no longer give access to EU clients. Only MiCA-authorised CASPs may provide MiCA-regulated crypto-asset services across the EU.

In the public MFSA financial services register. Select Investment Services, then AIFM, then Altarius Asset Management Limited. Nothing to take on trust.
