Obtain a European Union crypto-asset service provider license through Poland's MiCA framework — with full EU passporting rights to serve clients across the European Economic Area.
Supervised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) — Poland's expected competent authority for MiCA CASP authorization.
MiCA establishes a unified regulatory framework for crypto-asset service providers throughout the European Union. Poland's crypto market is transitioning from its prior VASP registration regime to the MiCA authorization framework. The Poland CASP license may authorize the following activities:
Perhaps the most significant advantage — a Poland MiCA license generally allows a CASP to passport services across all EU and EEA member states through a single authorization.
Poland represents one of the largest economies in Central Europe and offers access to a substantial consumer and business market alongside broader EU expansion opportunities.
Compared with some Western European jurisdictions, Poland generally offers lower operating costs, staffing expenses, and corporate overhead while maintaining full EU regulatory credibility.
Poland continues to attract fintech, payments, software, and digital asset businesses, creating an increasingly robust ecosystem of technology providers, banks, and professional service firms.
MiCA creates a harmonized regulatory environment designed to enhance market integrity, consumer protection, and institutional confidence.
Depending on the authorized scope, a single CASP license can support multiple regulated crypto activities throughout the European Union.
The Polish crypto-asset sector is expected to be supervised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority ("KNF"), which will serve as the competent authority for MiCA authorization and supervision. However, Poland's national MiCA implementation legislation has experienced delays, creating a transitional environment for market participants. For many businesses, obtaining authorization in another operational MiCA jurisdiction and passporting into Poland remains an alternative strategy while the Polish framework continues to develop.
MiCA establishes minimum own-funds requirements based upon the services being provided. The applicable capital requirement depends upon the precise services requested and the overall risk profile of the business.
