📢 NEWSFLASH - On 22 January 2025, the Luxembourg Parliament adopted a law implementing, inter alia, MiCA into national law (the “Law”).  Among other things, the Law confirms and extends the CSSF’s role, in accordance with MiCA. Some of the key aspects of the new Law are the formal implementation of the CSSF’s supervisory powers and competences, and the introduction into national law of clear enforcement mechanisms including penalties for violations, ensuring an effective regulatory environment. In addition to MiCA-related provisions, the Law also modifies the Law of 2004 to align the Luxembourg national legal framework with MiCA provisions. Indeed, the new Law has officially repealed the VASP registration requirement. Consequently, persons that are not registered as VASPs, will have to directly seek authorisation in accordance with MiCA to provide crypto-asset-related services in Luxembourg. It should also be reminded that crypto-asset providers registered as VASPs prior to the entry into force of MiCA can continue to operate during the 18-month grandfathering period until 1 July 2026. After this period, authorisation in accordance with MiCA will become mandatory to offer crypto-asset-related services in Luxembourg. 👉 For more details, please see our articles dedicated to MiCA on our website https://lnkd.in/eFSxFMV8 Tiago Nogueira, Cynthia Kombe, Koenraad Mertens LL.M #ElvingerHossPrussen #LuxembourgLaw #MiCA
