Ideas from practice
Articles by Dmytro Nasyrov
CASP License Application
An item-by-item walkthrough of the MiCA CASP authorization file: the nineteen points of Article 62(2), what Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/305 adds on top of them, the annex form and contact point set by the implementing regulation, and the completeness and assessment periods stated as rules rather than as a countdown.
Reverse Solicitation Under MiCA: The Article 61 Boundary
The MiCA transitional period was over everywhere by 1 July 2026, earlier in Member States that shortened it. A third-country crypto firm serving EU clients without a CASP authorization now has exactly one legal basis left, Article 61 reverse solicitation, and two years of ESMA guidance have narrowed it to a keyhole. We work through the statute, the 26 February 2025 guidelines, the broker-model opinion on routing and letter-box entities and ESMA's freshest compliance table dated 10 July 2026, which shows Poland and Romania still without a designated authority for these guidelines ten days after grandfathering ended. Then we cover what an engineering team actually builds to prove a client showed up on its own.
Tour Operator Software Development
Tour operator software development as a phased migration off a legacy reservation system: supplier contracting, allotments and release rules, quotes and vouchers, data cutover and what the Package Travel Directive, both the 2015 text and the 2026 amendment, requires the platform to encode.
CASP vs VASP
VASP is a supervisory label that appears nowhere in EU legislation, used by national regulators for firms on the anti-money-laundering registers the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive required. CASP is an authorization under MiCA Title V with a defined service list and an EU passport. This guide sets the entity-level regimes side by side, including the electronic money institution license and the Article 60 notification route that removes the need for a CASP application for seven categories of already-licensed institution.
MiCA Custody Requirements
MiCA custody requirements mapped provision by provision: Article 70's safekeeping baseline for every CASP, Article 75's nine-paragraph custody rulebook, the three-limb segregation test, the liability cap at market value at time of loss and the evidence a CASP should have ready for each obligation.
NDC API Integration
NDC API integration for a flight-booking platform: the Offer and Order message set message by message, aggregator versus direct connect, servicing after the sale and what IATA's own capability program actually measures.
