CASPs providing services based on an Article 60 notification

Answer provided by the European Commission Yes, the financial entities covered by Article 60(2) to (6) of MiCA may, in addition to the crypto-asset services they can provide if they follow the notification procedure under Article 60 of MiCA, also apply to be authorised to provide other crypto-asset services unless they are not authorised to provide these services under their respective sectorial financial legislation (e.g., Article 6(2) and (3) UCITS Directive, Article 6(2) and (3) AIFMD). This will mean applying for a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) authorisation under Article 62 of MiCA for any of the additional crypto-asset services that are not covered by the equivalence of Article 60.
