News and InsightsRegulations
CheckSig is the first crypto operator authorized in Italy under the MiCA Regulation. Financial intermediaries can now offer their clients regulated digital asset services through a partner formally vetted by CONSOB and aligned with the highest European standards in security, transparency and risk management.
First Italian License
CheckSig is the first CASP authorized in Italy under MiCAR, the European regulation governing crypto-assets. The Italian authorization process is among the most selective and rigorous in Europe, and being the first operator to clear it confirms the strength of an operating model recognized as best-in-class across AML, compliance, risk management and business operations. For intermediaries, this means partnering with the benchmark provider in the Italian market, a decisive advantage in client acquisition, due diligence conversations and reputational positioning.
European Passporting
A single MiCAR authorization grants the right to operate across the entire European Economic Area via passporting. CheckSig is therefore positioned to serve intermediaries throughout the EEA, leveraging an authorization issued under one of the most demanding licensing processes in Europe. For partner institutions, this translates into a provider whose regulatory standing has been tested against the highest bar, a quality signal that strengthens the credibility of the service offered and simplifies any cross-border expansion of the digital asset business line.
Integrated Compliance
MiCAR places investor protection at the centre of the regulatory design: asset segregation, transparent disclosure of costs and risks, governance procedures preventing conflicts of interest, and continuous AML and risk monitoring. CheckSig has applied these principles since day one, complementing them with continuous Proof‑of‑Reserves, dedicated insurance coverage on custody and SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II attestations renewed annually. The result is a service that intermediaries can confidently propose to private, corporate and institutional clients.
