Since 30 December 2024, cryptocurrency regulation in Lithuania follows the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA, Regulation (EU) 2023\/1114) and the national Law on Crypto-Asset Markets adopted on 11 July 2024. Crypto-asset service providers (CASP) are licensed and supervised by the Banco de Lituania<\/strong><\/a>. The former registration regime for virtual currency exchange and wallet operators under the supervision of the Financial Crime Investigation Service (FCIS) ended on 1 June 2025.<\/p>\n When operating in Lithuania, it is imperative to guarantee transparency: the information your crypto company publishes must be fair, clear and not misleading, and marketing communications must comply with MiCA, otherwise the regulator may apply sanctions.<\/p>\n One of the main advantages of the Lithuanian crypto ecosystem is that blockchain-based companies can connect with plenty of fintech companies offering innovative solutions for integrating fiat money and crypto-assets. The Bank of Lithuania also offers a pre-assessment of draft licence applications: feedback is received within five working days before the official submission.<\/p>\n Lithuania’s transitional regime for previously registered virtual currency operators ended on 31 December 2025. Crypto-asset services now require authorisation under MiCA, covering the specific services provided. Lithuanian CASP licences are issued by the Bank of Lithuania. CASPs authorised in another EU Member State may operate in Lithuania after completing the applicable cross-border notification procedure; qualifying financial institutions may use the notification route under Article 60 of MiCA.<\/p>\n A licence issued in Lithuania is valid in all EU\/EEA countries (passporting). If Lithuania’s regulatory environment suits your crypto business vision, learn more about the Licencia MiCA en Lituania<\/strong><\/a> process.<\/p>\n Applications for a CASP licence are submitted to the Bank of Lithuania, which also issues the licence. The Bank of Lithuania assesses application completeness within 25 working days and decides whether to grant authorisation within 40 working days after receiving a complete application. The assessment period may be suspended for up to 20 working days when additional information is requested under MiCA. Carefully prepared documentation is key, and our team at Company in Lithuania UAB can help you with it.<\/p>\n Here are the key things to take into consideration:<\/strong><\/p>\n CASPs must demonstrate sufficient qualified personnel, effective governance and operational substance. Their place of effective management must be in the EU, and at least one director must reside in the EU. Staffing and outsourcing arrangements must satisfy the applicable regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n Taxation of crypto-asset services is administered by the State Tax Inspectorate who considers the following activities taxable: mining, initial offering, buying, selling, mediation, settlement in such currencies for purchased or sold goods or services. Depending on the type of coins\/tokens and specifics of crypto activities, your business might be subject to paying the following taxes:<\/p>\n Ejemplos de exenciones fiscales: <\/strong><\/p>\n All in all, when it comes to paying Corporate Income Tax, based on the content and economic meaning of the transactions, cryptocurrencies are recognised as short-term assets that can be used or held as a means of payment for goods and services. For VAT purposes, cryptocurrencies qualifying as contractual means of payment are treated differently from tokens representing securities or rights to goods and services. VAT treatment depends on the instrument’s characteristics and the transaction concerned.<\/p>\n Si bien el entorno criptogr\u00e1fico lituano est\u00e1 en auge y cuenta con numerosas ventajas, su sistema regulatorio podr\u00eda requerir una explicaci\u00f3n profesional.
