Interaction between Article 60 notifications and the CASP transitional phase

Answer provided by the European Commission Yes. Article 143(3) MiCA provides that all crypto asset service providers that provided their services in accordance with applicable law before 30 December 2024 may benefit from the transitional period introduced in that provision. As financial entities referred to in Article 60 MiCA may have provided crypto asset services in accordance with applicable law before 30 December 2024, they may also benefit from the transitional provision.  If financial entities referred to in Article 60 MiCA wish to continue providing crypto asset services, they must notify the information referred to in Article 60(7) MiCA to the competent authority of their home Member States as required by that Article.   Disclaimer:  The answers clarify provisions already contained in the applicable legislation.
