Digital securities fall outside MiCAR's scope but the payment leg does not. To receive, hold, and transfer crypto assets and stablecoins on behalf of clients during subscription and redemption, a platform requires a CASP licence under MiCAR and a PI. Without both, a platform can issue digital securities but cannot move the capital. With MiCAR's transitional period ending on 30 June 2026, a significant number crypto-asset providers across Europe are still awaiting the authorisation they need to keep operating in the EU, and many face suspending services. The authorisation grants S
