1. Introduction
2. European Regulatory Framework
Several EU member states currently maintain national registers for cryptocurrency service providers: "Virtual Currency Operators Register," where crypto service providers must be registered to operate legally. With a newly implemented regulation, the European Union has established a uniform regulatory framework for crypto-assets through the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which took full effect in December 2024. Under this framework:
Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) authorized in one EU member state can operate across the EU without additional national authorizations, following the "passporting" principle.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) will establish a central register of authorized CASPs, ensuring transparency and regulatory oversight.
3. Regulatory Situation in Poland
At present, Poland has not yet adopted specific national legislation to regulate CASPs under the MiCA framework. As a result, crypto-asset service providers must continue to comply with existing regulations until MiCA is fully enforced.
The Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego (KNF), Poland’s Financial Supervision Authority, has set specific deadlines for compliance with MiCA:
June 30, 2025: Entities registered in Poland’s VASP (Virtual Asset Service Providers) Register before December 30, 2024, may continue operations until this date. By May 1, 2025, these entities must submit a complete application for authorization as a CASP (Crypto Asset Service Provider). If the application is submitted on time, they can continue operating until September 30, 2025, or until their application is approved or rejected.
October 1, 2025: The Polish VASP Register will be dissolved. Entities that have not obtained CASP authorization by this date will no longer be able to operate legally.
While MiCA is directly applicable across all EU member states, Poland must still adopt national legislation to designate the regulatory authority responsible for CASP supervision and establish the necessary mechanisms for the practical enforcement of MiCA within its legal framework.
4. Compliance Obligations for Urano Sp. z o.o.
As Urano Sp. z o.o. is duly registered in Poland, it will continue to operate in compliance with local regulations until the full implementation of MiCA. During the transition period (until October 1, 2025 for Poland), national registers will continue to function under their respective local regulations.
To ensure full compliance and minimize regulatory risks, Urano Sp. z o.o. will:
Monitor regulatory developments regarding MiCA implementation in Poland and across the EU.
Coordinate with competent regulatory authorities, through its legal representatives, to ensure all activities comply with new requirements.
Implement operational modifications necessary to obtain CASP authorization under MiCA provisions.
Guarantee transparency and security in the provision of crypto-asset services.
During this transition period, Urano Ecosystem Sp. z o.o. must ensure compliance with:
MiCA Regulation (EU Regulation 2023/1114) governing CASP operations in the EU.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regulations, in compliance with EU directives and Polish laws.
Transparency and security obligations in crypto-asset operations.
Any reporting requirements mandated by the KNF or other competent Polish authorities.
5. Future Obligations and Final Compliance Deadline
Although Urano Ecosystem Sp. z o.o. may continue to operate during the transition period, it must complete the CASP registration process in full compliance with MiCA by June 30, 2026 (until October 1, 2025 for Poland).
To obtain the new MiCA-compliant license, the company will be required to:
Maintain an active and operational office in Poland.
Hold share capital between €50,000 and €150,000, depending on the services provided.
Fully comply with financial reporting and AML/CFT obligations.
As of today, Urano Ecosystem Sp. z o.o. complies with all current regulations and retains the right to continue operating in the crypto-asset services sector in Poland until the end of the transition period, i.e., June 30, 2026. However, the company must closely monitor regulatory developments in Poland and adjust to new provisions as soon as they are implemented.
Urano Sp. z o.o., based in Grudziadz, Poland, serves as the operational pillar of the Urano Ecosystem's tokenization process. The company is fully regulated, having been officially registered in the Register of Virtual Currency Activities (1) by the Director of the Fiscal Administration Chamber in Katowice on May 10, 2023, under registration number RDWW-746. By obtaining authorization as a Virtual-Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Poland before December 31, 2024, and therefore can continue operating in the crypto-asset services sector during the 18-month transition period, i.e., until June 30, 2026, without requiring an immediate new authorization. Urano Sp. z o.o. operates in full compliance with the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework, ensuring that all tokenization activities adhere to strict European regulations. It is important to note that Urano Sp. z o.o. does not issue regulated financial instruments (MiFID) or electronic money (EMI); its operations are strictly limited to the creation and management of crypto-assets in accordance with MiCA.
