MiCAR: Crypto Asset Service Providers

# Continuous compliance, *keeping your licence defensible*

[RegAI Helia](https://acecompany.nl/helia) onboards MiCAR and its technical standards, the [AML package](https://acecompany.nl/solutions/amlr), [DORA](https://acecompany.nl/solutions/dora) and the rest of your scope as structured source, maps every requirement to your policies, standards and controls, and shows where you stand.

## **Onboard, map, show: your scope, worked end to end**

Authorisation proved your framework once. Since then, new standards keep publishing, regulations overlap in the same policies, and supervisors test whether controls actually operated. Compliance is a costly endeavour, and the rulebook keeps growing.

Step 1

Onboard

The regulations that apply to your firm, loaded into Helia as structured source and maintained as they arrive, change and lapse.

Step 2

Map

Every atomic requirement traced to the policy or standard that evidences it, and to the control objective it drives.

Step 3

Show

Coverage computed from the mapping, with each gap named and a way to close it. Where you stand, on screen.

## **The regulations in scope, held as structured source**

The AFM's good practices for licence applicants begin with scoping: determine which MiCAR rules apply to your organisation. The question does not stop at MiCAR. Most of the regimes that reach a CASP sit outside it. These form the standard scope for a Dutch crypto-asset service provider, and any other regulation is added on request.

## **The crypto core, onboarded as standard**

**MiCAR and Level 2 and 3**

Prescriptive obligations, technical standards, templates and forms, including the knowledge and competence guidelines.

**AML package**

Single-rulebook obligations from July 2027, with standards and templates from AMLA.

**Wwft**

Risk-based obligations and AFM guidance, until the AML package replaces it.

**Travel Rule**

Data accompaniment obligations and EBA guidelines. Procedural, zero threshold.

**Sanctiewet and EU sanctions**

A thin framework carrying absolute obligations, with lists as operational data.

**DORA**

Obligations, technical standards and reporting templates, including the register of information.

## **The wider scope, added to the same map**

Some of these bind every firm, some depend on a scope determination. Each joins the mapping you already run.

**GDPR**

Principles and obligations, with EDPB guidance.

**DAC8**

A reporting schema, due-diligence procedures and filing formats. First filing January 2027.

**Consumer protection**

Principles-based conduct rules, with Dutch consumer law as the national overlay.

**PSD2 and PSR on EMTs**

Conditional and authorisation-driven. Scope determination first.

**NIS2, AI Act, MiFID II**

Conditional on your structure, your technology and your entry route.

**Your own additions**

Anything else that reaches your firm joins the same scope.

## **The Impact Assessment, across your policy framework**

**1**

**Requirements embedded in policies and standards**

Each regulation broken to atomic requirements, each requirement traced to the policy or standard that evidences it, and each gap named.

**2**

**A leaner framework**

Where regulations overlap, the shared requirement is worked once, so one obligation is not written into three documents in three forms.

**3**

**Smart recommendations**

Where embedment fails, Helia holds the wording that would close it, and the compliance officer approves, edits or rejects.

## **Your controls against the control objectives**

**1**

**Reuse what you already have**

Existing controls linked to the control objectives derived from your requirements, before anything new is proposed.

**2**

**Coverage stated, with the reasoning**

Each objective covered, partially covered or not covered, with the argument behind the verdict traceable to source. Ready before a supervisor asks.

**3**

**A control where you have none**

Where nothing covers an objective, Helia proposes one benchmarked against the market, so a gap arrives with a way to close it.

## **The scope keeps moving**

Change flagged at source

New technical standards, guidelines, sanctions listings and supervisory publications, picked up as they publish.

Impact scoped to your mapping

The message is not that a regulation has changed. It is which of your requirements, policies and controls the change touches.

New regulations join the same map

When something new reaches your firm, it extends the mapping you already run rather than starting a separate programme.

## **Built with institutions that answer to the same supervisors**

We run this process inside the mature risk and compliance frameworks of large Dutch [banks](https://acecompany.nl/banking) and [insurers](https://acecompany.nl/insurance), under the AFM and DNB. Much of the ground is shared: DORA treats crypto-asset service providers, credit institutions and insurance undertakings alike as financial entities, and the AML regime, the Sanctiewet and the GDPR reach all of them. MiCAR, the Travel Rule and DAC8 are what make a CASP different. The method transfers, and we use it to help you mature your framework.

**Next up**

The requirements, policies and controls this page maps are held, versioned and evidenced in [Regulatory Nexus](https://acecompany.nl/helia/regulatory-nexus).
