The CNMV updates CASP admission criteria
In 2025, the CNMV updated the admission criteria for Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) to align them fully with the MiCA Regulation. These new requirements affect both companies currently processing their licenses and those already registered, introducing stricter demands regarding governance, technological security, solvency, and internal documentation.
At IN DIEM Abogados, together with the specialized technical support of Cryptoveritas 360, we analyze how this update impacts exchanges, custodians, fintechs, and crypto service providers in Spain, and the steps they must follow to ensure a solid file approved by the CNMV. Adapting in time not only prevents delays or rejections: it also strengthens the credibility and competitiveness of companies in the new MiCA 2025 regulatory environment.
