Monetica S.r.l. is completing the assessment and preparation of the application for authorisation as a CASP pursuant to the MiCA Regulation, which will be submitted by 30 December 2025 to the competent Italian authority or to another competent authority of a Member State of the European Union, in compliance with the applicable legislation.

Throughout the entire transitional period, the services offered by Monetica S.r.l. will continue to be provided in compliance with the regulatory framework currently applicable to VASPs, including the provisions on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, without prejudice to customers’ rights.
