A source-backed preparation page for CASP teams converting Article 62 authorisation requirements and the 2025 technical standards into an evidence inventory.
Informational only. Not legal, regulatory, brokerage, underwriting, or insurance advice.
MiCA Article 62 sets the application route for authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider. Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/305 further specifies information to include in a CASP authorisation application, making this a strong buyer-intent page for teams preparing regulator-facing files.
This page is a preparation aid for evidence mapping. CASPs should validate legal interpretation, filing format, and competent-authority expectations with qualified advisers and the relevant authority process.
Legal entity, group structure, home member state, crypto-asset services requested, target customers, jurisdictions, passporting assumptions, and any Article 60 notification boundary if the applicant is already a financial entity.
Business model, service flows, client onboarding, token/service perimeter, trading or transfer workflows if relevant, outsourcing, critical vendors, and continuity dependencies.
Management body accountability, ownership influence, conflicts, internal controls, policy ownership, compliance monitoring, financial-crime controls, operational-risk owners, and evidence refresh cadence.
Article 67 own-funds basis, fixed-overhead logic where relevant, insurance or comparable-guarantee evaluation, cancellation/exclusion questions, and the rationale for any combined safeguard path.
Custody policy, wallet/key-control model, records of positions, segregation, asset-return procedure, access recovery, outsourcing, incident playbooks, and Article 75 loss-scenario ownership where custody or control is in scope.
ICT systems, security controls, DORA-adjacent incident material, business continuity, complaints procedure, complaint register, root-cause analysis, client communication, and remediation evidence.
Short answer: a CASP preparing for MiCA Article 62 authorisation should build a source-backed evidence pack covering applicant identity, services requested, programme of operations, governance, internal controls, prudential safeguards, custody/client-asset controls where relevant, ICT resilience, outsourcing, complaints handling, and service-specific procedures. The evidence pack should map each claim to a document owner and public or internal source before counsel, broker, insurer, or competent-authority review.
No. The legal filing is only one layer. The practical work is assembling evidence across governance, operations, custody, prudential safeguards, complaints, ICT, outsourcing, and service-specific controls.
Article 62 application material often needs a coherent prudential and operational-risk story. Article 67 allows insurance or comparable guarantees as part of prudential safeguards, while custody exposure under Article 75 may influence broker and insurer diligence.
Start with Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 Article 62, then map the additional 2025 technical-standard requirements and the relevant national competent-authority forms or guidance for the chosen home member state.
