Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) Licensing Regulation
The draft regulation aims to organize and regulate the activities of Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)—including trading, custody, and transfer of virtual assets—through a legal framework that ensures transparency, security, and investor protection.
It outlines licensing requirements, such as financial solvency, operational competence, and strict adherence to Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CFT) standards. The regulation also imposes technical and supervisory obligations to safeguard transaction integrity and customer data privacy.
The system enhances the role of regulatory authorities in conducting ongoing supervision and grants them the authority to impose penalties and sanctions in case of non-compliance. Overall, the regulation aims to foster a secure, transparent, and innovation-friendly environment, aligned with international standards, while supporting the responsible growth of the digital economy.
