CASP / digital asset service provider
Regulatory status of a digital asset service provider, with its associated duties and supervision.
The status covers several services: custody on behalf of third parties, buying and selling against legal tender, exchanging between digital assets, operating a trading platform. Each carries its own duties.
It is neither presumed nor self-declared: it results from registration or authorisation with an authority, verifiable in a public register. A service claiming a status without naming an authority, a number and a verification link is claiming nothing verifiable.
