Crypto License Lithuania
In Lithuania, getting a crypto license is as easy as starting a UAB—a limited liability company. It's the perfect launchpad to springboard your crypto exchange or storage service. All it takes is €125,000 in capital, with a mere 25% (€31,250) up-front, and the rest 75% (€93,750) to be settled within the year.
​
And there's a role for everyone. Regardless of where you're from, you can be a director. Although, we do insist you have an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) officer on the ground in Lithuania. It's all about ensuring the integrity of our crypto ecosystem.
What sets Lithuania apart? It's the country's forward-thinking, cost-effective approach to licensing crypto businesses. Even before the MiCa Directive has been formally adopted, Lithuania's already integrated some of its key components. That's the kind of place Lithuania is—always ahead of the curve.
Crypto licenses in Lithuania cover two main types of operations for virtual asset service providers:
-
Cryptocurrency exchange license — This license enables a company to execute virtual currency exchange against FIAT and vice versa, or facilitate virtual currency exchanges among themselves, earning a commission for the provided services.
-
Cryptocurrency wallet license (cryptocurrency custodial services) — This license permits a company to hold virtual currencies in its wallet on behalf of its clients and maintain the encrypted private keys from these wallets.

Capabilities of a Lithuania-Registered VASP: What's Possible?
Understanding the Broad Functionality of Virtual Asset Service Providers
Crypto to Crypto
Firms recognized as Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) have the privilege to offer exchange services for various digital assets, encompassing utility tokens and coins. Yet, they're not granted the authority to enable trading of security tokens.
Custodial Service
With a VASP License in hand, the holder is authorized to store cryptocurrencies for clients using custodial wallets. In simpler terms, the operator can establish a wallet on behalf of a client, while the VASP retains control over the private keys.
Crypto to Fiat, Fiat to Crypto
Holding a cryptocurrency license in Lithuania equips one with the ability to facilitate the exchange of cryptocurrencies for traditional, fiat currencies, and vice versa. Thus, clients gain the power to buy or sell utility tokens using conventional currencies like the USD, Euro, and more.
ICO/IDO/IEO
A Lithuanian-registered VASP possesses the capability to execute Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs), and Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). These platforms serve as avenues for the VASP to debut its cryptocurrency. It's important to highlight, though, that these offerings are strictly limited to the launch of utility tokens.
Staking as Service
VASPs have the permission to employ staking as an extra approach to derive passive income from cryptocurrencies. Rather than just retaining cryptocurrencies, staking offers a lucrative alternative, mirroring the concept of bank deposits in the world of crypto.
Mint & Trade NFTs
A VASP registered in Lithuania can carve out a platform for NFT trading or participate in the creation of NFTs, thereby shaping a marketplace for one-of-a-kind digital assets.
