CheckSig officially initiates the process towards full compliance with the MiCA Regulation

A strategic step to further strengthen the transparency, security, and reliability of our services, in line with European regulatory standards.

Milan, May 30, 2025 - With the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on markets in crypto-assets (MiCA), CheckSig announces its intention to submit its application for authorization within the established deadline, which is June 30, 2025.

The MiCA Regulation, which defines a harmonized regulatory framework for the entire crypto market in the European Union, governs the issuance, public offering, trading, and services related to crypto-assets. This new regulatory framework was created with the aim of strengthening investor protection, promoting market integrity, and fostering innovative and sustainable development in the sector.

In Italy, Legislative Decree 129/2024 regulates the transitional provisions of MiCA and allows VASPs (Virtual Asset Service Providers) already registered with the OAM prior to the full application of the Regulation to continue operating, provided that they submit their application for authorization by the specified deadline. In this context, CheckSig confirms that all services offered will remain fully operational throughout the transitional period, with no changes to contractual relationships or terms of use.

Adaptation to the new regulatory framework is already underway and involves a structured review of organizational controls, risk management policies, and internal processes, in line with MiCA requirements. The process is led by a dedicated legal and regulatory team, with the aim of ensuring an effective and timely transition. CheckSig considers regulatory compliance not only a regulatory obligation, but a strategic commitment to customers, partners, and stakeholders. The trajectory towards MiCA authorization reflects our desire to operate with the highest standards of transparency, reliability, and governance.

CheckSig is registered with the OAM in the Special Section of the Currency Exchange Operators Register dedicated to providers of services related to the use of virtual currencies and digital wallet services, with registration date 27 May 2022 and registration number PSV4. On 1 September 2025, CheckSig submitted an application to CONSOB for authorization as a crypto-asset service provider pursuant to Article 16, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree No. 129/2024 and Articles 62 and 63 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114. Pending authorization, CheckSig continues to operate as a provider of services related to the use of virtual currencies and digital wallet services as established by Decree-Law No. 95/2025, not yet being subject to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
