Regulaci\u00f3n de las criptomonedas en Lituania<\/h1>\n

\"Regulaci\u00f3nFinding a crypto-friendly jurisdiction and mastering its legal framework will most likely set any financial innovator on the path to growth. If you are wondering where to anchor your crypto business, Lithuania’s fintech ecosystem is ranked among the world’s top countries, according to the \u00cdndice global de tecnolog\u00eda financiera<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

Requisitos clave para solicitar una licencia de criptomonedas en Lituania<\/h2>\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.
