MiCA grandfathering ends 1 July 2026

When grandfathering ends, keep your customers.* Keep Your Customers — the only KYC that pays rent.

Offer your customers a branded, self-custody page that connects them to regulated partners for on- and off-ramp conversion, so the relationship doesn't end on July 1.

MiCA grandfathering ends 1 July 2026.
The reframe

Three dead-ends. One way through.

After July 1, most VASPs weigh shutting down, referring customers away, or waiting out the authorisation process. There's another option: keep serving your customers through regulated partners while you pursue your own long-term path.

Shut down

Walk away from the book.

Refer customers away

Hand them to a competitor.

Wait in the queue

9–15 months. No revenue.

The fourth path
Keep earning with Venly Continuity

A branded, self-custody conversion page. Live in days.

Why this works

Each part is replicable. The combination isn't.

01
Self-custody by design

Customers hold their own keys and sign every transaction themselves. The regulated execution and settlement sit with our licensed partners, not with you.

02
Compliance handled. Screening and KYB built in.

Compliance coordinated. We run KYB and coordinate screening with our regulated partners, so you don't have to assemble a stack yourself.

03
A real fiat edge

Give your customers a seamless way to move between EUR, USD and USDC through the regulated banking infrastructure of our trusted partners.

Live in days, not months.
You earn, you don't pay — revenue share, no subscription.
Your brand. No new account for your customers.
How it works

Three steps. Days, not months.

  1. 1
    Onboard

    KYB, brand your page, and get you live in days.

  2. 2
    Go live

    Your branded conversion page is online.

  3. 3
    Earn

    A share of a disclosed software fee on every conversion.

COMMERCIAL INFORMATION

No upfront cost, no subscription. You share in a disclosed fee on conversions, with the details set in your agreement. The figure that matters is the one you're protecting: the customer book you spent years building, which otherwise goes to a competitor, or to zero, after July 1.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

  • What happens to my VASP after July 1, 2026?
    Your business does not need to shut down. However, without the required MiCA authorization, you may no longer be able to provide regulated crypto-asset services to customers in the EEA. This can impact your ability to offer on-ramp, off-ramp, conversion, and other regulated crypto services. The challenge isn't keeping your company alive. It's keeping your customers. Our goal is to help VASPs maintain a conversion service for their customers through regulated partners while they work towards their own long-term licensing strategy.
  • Why use Venly instead of building this yourself?
    Building direct relationships with regulated on-ramp and off-ramp providers takes time, multi-year contracts, legal reviews, compliance checks, technical integration work, and often significant volume commitments. Venly provides a faster route to market through an existing regulated infrastructure network, allowing you to continue serving customers without the complexity of building and managing everything yourself.
  • Do I need a CASP license to use this solution?
    You don't need your own CASP licence to connect to this page. the regulated conversion is performed by our licensed partners. Whether your own activities require authorisation depends on your specific setup and jurisdiction, so you should confirm that with your own counsel. Our aim is to help you maintain continuity for your customers through regulated partners while you pursue your own licensing strategy.
  • How quickly can I get started?
    After your business passes KYB verification and onboarding is completed, your branded conversion page can typically be activated within days.
  • Can I use my own branding?
    Yes. Each partner receives a branded conversion page with their own company name, logo, colors, and custom URL, ensuring a consistent experience for customers.
  • Will my customers need to create new accounts?
    No. Customers can access the conversion flow through your branded page. The experience is designed to minimize friction and help you retain your existing customer relationships.
  • Who handles compliance and onboarding?
    Venly manages business onboarding and coordinates compliance requirements with its regulated partners. This includes KYB verification and required compliance workflows.
  • Who is responsible for processing transactions?
    Transactions are processed through regulated partners. Venly provides the technology and orchestration layer while regulated providers handle the underlying payment and compliance infrastructure.
  • What currencies are supported?
    The solution supports EUR and USD conversion flows, allowing customers to move between fiat currencies and supported stablecoins.
  • Is there a minimum commitment?
    Yes. A minimum monthly commitment applies. This allows us to provide dedicated onboarding, compliance support, and access to regulated infrastructure.
  • Can I continue using my existing KYC provider?
    In many cases, yes. If you already use a KYC provider such as Sumsub, existing verification data may be reusable, helping reduce onboarding friction for your customers.
  • What happens when I obtain my CASP license?
    The solution is designed as a bridge to help you continue operating today. Once your CASP license is granted, Venly can help you evaluate migration options and support your long-term setup.
  • How do I get started?
    Book a call with our team. We'll review your use case, complete the KYB process, and guide you through onboarding so you can start offering on-ramp and off-ramp services as quickly as possible.

Keep working after July 1.
