Overview of Denmark’s Crypto Regulation
Last updated: 03 June 2025
As a Member State of the European Union, Denmark is subject to EU regulations concerning digital assets. In 2023, the EU adopted the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), a comprehensive regulatory framework designed to oversee the crypto asset market across the EU.
As of 30 December 2024, the regulation is fully in effect, with all provisions applicable to token issuers and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) in force.
All new CASPs are required to comply with MiCA from 30 December 2024, while existing CASPs benefit from a transitional period during which they must align their practices with MiCA’s requirements. However, both new and existing CASPs must comply with AML/CFT rules, including the Travel Rule, from 30 December 2024.
In Denmark, the transitional period for existing CASPs is 18 months, concluding on 1 July 2026.
For a comprehensive understanding of the MiCA regulation and its implications for the EU’s crypto asset market, please refer to the European Union's dedicated page.
