CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider)

CASP is the license required for crypto-asset service providers under MiCA. It applies to companies serving EU clients, including crypto exchanges, custodians, brokers, exchange services, and token issuers. 8lends does not require a CASP license for its current crowdlending products because its business model does not fall under the MiCA definition of a crypto-asset service and operates under different regulatory frameworks, including Money Services Business regulations.
