A legal person whose business is providing one or more of the ten crypto-asset services listed in Art. 3(1)(16) MiCAR, and which is authorised to do so.
Source: Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR), Art. 3(1)(15) and (16), OJ L 150 of 09.06.2023, p. 64.
(a) custody and administration on behalf of clients; (b) operation of a trading platform; (c) exchange for funds; (d) exchange for other crypto-assets; (e) execution of orders; (f) placing; (g) reception and transmission of orders; (h) advice; (i) portfolio management; (j) transfer services.
The services are in Art. 3, not in Annex I. MiCAR's Annex I holds the crypto-asset white paper disclosure items. The confusion comes from MiFID II, which does list its investment services in an Annex I.
