Lithuania's central bank has mandated that all cryptocurrency service providers operating within the country must obtain proper licensing before December 31, 2025. This enforcement marks the full implementation of the EU's Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation across the Baltic nation. The directive applies to exchanges, custodians, and other digital asset firms seeking to operate legally. Companies still lacking proper authorization will face restrictions on service delivery in Lithuania starting next year. This move aligns with the EU's broader strategy to establish uniform crypto licensing standards across member states.

Regulation is coming again, this time it's Lithuania's turn. But to be honest, MiCA should have come earlier; it's a bit late now. Licensing needs to be completed by the end of next year, and those small operations are probably going to be out of the game. It seems like Europe just wants to completely control the crypto space. Will this wave have a big impact on retail investors like us?

Lithuania is really strict; licenses must be obtained by the end of 2025, otherwise services will be directly restricted.
