VS Markets Gets CySEC MiCA Approval for Crypto Services

VS Markets Receives CySEC Authorization for MiCA Crypto-Asset Services

VS Markets Ltd has received authorization from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) to offer crypto-asset services under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, known as MiCA. The Limassol-based company is authorized as a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) under license number 434/23.

The approval covers six types of crypto-asset services. VS Markets can hold and administer crypto-assets for clients, exchange crypto-assets for funds, and exchange one crypto-asset for another. It can also execute client orders, receive and transmit orders on clients’ behalf, and provide crypto-asset transfer services.

These services will add to the company’s existing offerings in contracts for difference (CFDs) and shares. VS Markets said both retail and institutional clients will be able to access the crypto-asset services. The company expects to launch them in the coming weeks, although it has not provided a specific launch date. At launch, the offering is expected to include major crypto-assets that meet MiCA requirements.

Services planned across the European Economic Area

VS Markets plans to make its crypto-asset services available across the European Economic Area (EEA). The countries listed by the company are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.

MiCA establishes common rules for crypto-asset service providers across the European Union. The framework sets requirements for authorization, governance, transparency, client protection, and the delivery of crypto-asset services. It also allows companies authorized in one EU member state to offer covered services in other member states through the passporting system.

VS Markets comments on the authorization

Andrey Stoychev, a shareholder of VS Markets Ltd and chief executive of crypto CFD liquidity provider VS Capital, said the authorization followed months of work by the company’s team, partners, and advisers.

“This is a proud moment for all of us at VS Markets. Behind this approval are months of hard work, late nights and real dedication from an incredible team, and I’m grateful to everyone at VS Markets and to our partners and advisors who made it possible.”

Stoychev also said the company plans to apply MiCA’s standards for trust and transparency to its crypto-asset services.

“MiCA sets the standard for trust and transparency in crypto-asset services across Europe, and we’re excited to bring that same standard to our clients. This is just the beginning.”

VS Capital shares leadership with VS Markets. In September 2025, VS Capital expanded its crypto CFD liquidity integration with Centroid Solutions. It was also named Best Crypto Liquidity Provider at the UF AWARDS Global 2025.
