Change log

What changed, when it took effect, which pages it invalidated and what had to be done about it. Kept so that nothing on this site quietly describes a rule that has been superseded.

Lithuania’s transitional period for crypto-asset service providers ended

Operators registered under the previous Lithuanian regime for virtual currency exchange and wallet services lost the right to continue on that basis. Continuing to provide crypto-asset services in Lithuania now requires an authorisation under the regulation, held either in Lithuania or in another member state.

Action: Any page describing the old registration route as a live option is wrong and must be rewritten, not merely dated.

Affects: /licensing/casp-authorisation-lithuania/, / · Bank of Lithuania, Investors should find out if their crypto-asset service provider intends to be licensed (2025-07-21)

Fourth Lithuanian CASP authorisation granted

The Bank of Lithuania authorised Micar assets UAB, following Robinhood Europe UAB, UAB “Decentralized” (CoinGate) and Nuvei Liquidity UAB.

Action: The running count is a moving figure and must never be written into evergreen copy. Pages cite it through the fact register, which carries a monthly review date.

Affects: /, /licensing/casp-authorisation-lithuania/ · Bank of Lithuania, An authorisation of a crypto asset service provider granted to Micar assets, UAB (2026-03-03)
