What is a VASP License?

A VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) license in Estonia allows your company to legally operate crypto-related services such as cryptocurrency exchange, wallet and custody services, token issuance, and blockchain-based payment solutions. Estonia is one of the most progressive countries in the EU for virtual asset regulation and offers full alignment with the new MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) Regulation.

Why Choose Estonia for your VASP company? 🌍

Estonia offers one of the most business-friendly environments in Europe for crypto companies. The licensing process is fast and predictable, and the Estonian framework supports full EU passporting, meaning your licensed business can operate across all EU member states.

You’ll benefit from clear legal guidelines, a modern digital infrastructure (including e-Residency), and a strong reputation for innovation in fintech and blockchain.

MiCA-Ready and Future-Proof 🛡️

With the EU’s new MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation officially in force, compliance is no longer optional — it’s a legal requirement for any business operating in the crypto space across the European Union.

MiCA introduces a unified licensing and supervisory framework for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), covering everything from token issuance to custodial services, exchanges, and stablecoins. The goal: protect users, ensure market integrity, and prevent misuse of digital assets for illicit purposes.

At Eesti Consulting, we help you stay ahead of the curve by ensuring your Estonian VASP company is fully MiCA-ready:

We align your internal policies (AML/KYC, governance, IT security) with MiCA standards

Prepare you for reporting and operational obligations

Guide you through upcoming licensing transitions under the new regulation

Reduce regulatory risks before they arise

✅ Whether you’re launching a new crypto exchange, token project, or wallet service — starting with MiCA compliance gives your business long-term security and credibility across the EU.

Let us handle the legal and regulatory side, so you can stay focused on growth, innovation, and scaling your business with confidence.
