VS Markets Ltd has received authorisation from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) to provide crypto-asset services under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA). The Limassol-based firm operates as a Cyprus Investment Firm under licence number 434/23.
The authorisation covers custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients, exchange of crypto-assets for funds, exchange of crypto-assets for other crypto-assets, execution of orders for crypto-assets on behalf of clients, reception and transmission of orders for crypto-assets on behalf of clients, and transfer services for crypto-assets on behalf of clients. These sit alongside the firm’s existing investment services in CFDs and shares.
The new services will be available to retail and institutional clients and are expected to launch in the coming weeks. At launch, VS Markets will offer all major crypto-assets that meet MiCA requirements.
The services will be available to clients across the European Economic Area: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
MiCA is the European Union’s harmonised regulatory framework for crypto-assets. It sets common requirements for crypto-asset service providers on authorisation, governance, transparency and client protection, and on the provision of crypto-asset services across the EU. Firms authorised in one member state can passport those services throughout the bloc, which is why Cyprus has become a frequent base for brokers adding regulated digital asset services to existing CFD operations.
Andrey Stoychev, who is also chief executive of crypto CFD liquidity provider VS Capital (@VS Capital), commented on the approval:
