MiCA and CASP licensing support for a crypto wallet startup in the Czech Republic

Entering the regulated EU crypto market requires more than a strong product. Crypto companies must adapt their operations to MiCA requirements, implement compliant AML/KYC procedures, and prepare for increasing regulatory scrutiny. Key2Law assisted a Czech crypto startup in building a compliant and operational framework for CASP licensing preparation.

Client Profile

Our client was a fast-growing crypto startup developing cryptocurrency wallet solutions in the Czech Republic. The company planned to expand within the EU market and needed regulatory support to prepare for MiCA implementation and CASP licensing requirements.

Regulatory Challenges Before CASP Licensing

As the EU crypto market moves toward stricter regulation under MiCA, the client needed to ensure that its business model, internal procedures, and compliance processes aligned with upcoming regulatory standards. The company planned to expand its operations in the Czech Republic and prepare for CASP licensing, but faced several regulatory and operational challenges related to AML/KYC compliance, internal governance, and regulatory risk management.

The client also required a practical compliance framework that would support future growth without slowing down operational processes or creating additional risks during the licensing stage.

1. Adapting internal operations to MiCA requirements
2. Preparing for CASP licensing in the Czech Republic
3. Implementing compliant AML and KYC procedures
4. Reducing regulatory and operational risks
5. Preparing the team for ongoing compliance obligations

Regulatory and Compliance Strategy Implemented by Key2Law

Key2Law provided comprehensive regulatory and compliance support to help the client prepare for MiCA implementation and CASP licensing requirements in the Czech Republic.

Our team conducted a detailed regulatory assessment of the client’s business model and identified key compliance areas requiring adaptation. Based on the results, we developed a tailored compliance strategy focused on AML/KYC procedures, internal governance, and risk management.

We also supported the client during the CASP licensing preparation process by providing practical recommendations for documentation, operational structuring, and regulatory readiness.

Our support included:

1. Regulatory analysis of MiCA and Czech crypto regulations
2. Development of AML and KYC compliance procedures
3. CASP licensing preparation support
4. Internal compliance and governance recommendations
5. Employee training on MiCA-related obligations
6. Ongoing compliance support during the licensing process

How the Project Was Structured

The project started with a regulatory and compliance review of the client’s existing operations and planned expansion strategy in the Czech Republic. After identifying the main regulatory gaps, our team prepared a step-by-step compliance roadmap aligned with MiCA requirements and CASP licensing expectations.

We then assisted the client with implementing AML/KYC procedures, improving internal compliance controls, and preparing the necessary documentation for the licensing process. Throughout the project, Key2Law also provided ongoing comprehensive guidance on regulatory questions arising during implementation.

Outcome of the Project

With Key2Law’s support, the client successfully prepared its operations for MiCA compliance and submitted documentation for the CASP licensing process in the Czech Republic.

As a result, the company:

1. Built a MiCA-ready compliance structure
2. Strengthened AML and KYC procedures
3. Reduced regulatory and operational risks
4. Improved its market positioning and credibility
5. Reported a 150% increase in user registrations within six months after launch
