Overview of Sweden’s Crypto Regulation
Last updated: 11 May 2026
As a Member State of the European Union, Austria 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 govern the crypto-asset market across the EU.
Since 30 December 2024, MiCA has been fully applicable, with its provisions in force for both token issuers and crypto-asset service providers (CASPs).
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. In Sweden, the transitional period for existing CASPs was 9 months and concluded on 30 September 2025.
In addition, both new and existing CASPs have been required to comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) obligations, including the Travel Rule under the Transfer of Funds Regulation, since 30 December 2024.
