Virtual Asset & VASP Licensing — All Jurisdictions

Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) is the FATF-standard term covering crypto exchanges, wallet providers, custodians, and transfer services. Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) is the EU MiCA equivalent. Digital Currency Exchange (DCE) is the Australian AUSTRAC term. Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) is used in El Salvador.

Regardless of the term used in your target jurisdiction, the regulatory substance is similar — entities facilitating virtual asset transactions for third parties require authorization.
