Regulation by country
Norway
MiCA
MiCA applies through the EEA Agreement as Norwegian law from 1 Jul 2025 (Crypto-Assets Act). Registered VASPs had a transition until 30 Dec 2025 or until their licence decision.
Law
Lov om kryptoeiendeler (Crypto-Assets Act, 27 May 2025 no. 20).
Authorities
Finanstilsynet (licences and supervision); Norges Bank (payments, CBDC study); Skatteetaten (tax, CARF/DAC8 reporting from income year 2026).
Status
Six CASPs authorised by Finanstilsynet as of 3 Oct 2026: Týr Markets, Firi, K33 Markets, Bare Bitcoin, NBX and AK Jensen Norway. A temporary ban on new power-intensive crypto data centres is being studied but not adopted.
MiCA applies directly as EU law. The transitional period for previously registered firms ended on 30 Jun 2026; only authorised firms may now offer crypto services in Sweden.
Law
MiCA (EU) 2023/1114; Act 2025:1377 on collecting certain tax information on crypto-assets (DAC8), in force 1 Jan 2026.
One FI-authorised CASP (Safello) as of 30 Jun 2026, plus 77 firms passporting from other EU countries. Two refusals (Valuno's QB Europe AB, GreenMerc's Ijort Invest AB). A new government was still being formed in early October 2026.
MiCA applies directly as EU law. Finland gave no transitional period, so providers needed an authorisation from the start.
Law
Act 402/2024 on crypto-asset service providers and crypto-asset markets.
Authorities
Finanssivalvonta / FIN-FSA (licences and supervision); Bank of Finland; Verohallinto (tax); NBI Financial Intelligence Unit.
Status
Five FIN-FSA-authorised CASPs in the ESMA register (Coinmotion, Tesseract, Bittimaatti, Northcrypto, Kvarn X) and one e-money token issuer (Paxos Issuance Europe). Some Swedish firms now operate on Finnish licences (Kvarn, Northcrypto).
Ministry of Finance (Norway): it is not confirmed which state secretary holds the financial-markets and crypto portfolio.
Finanstilsynet: Wenche Fagereng is listed by name and role from the authority's organisation chart. Nothing is said about responsibility for MiCA or CASP supervision, because that is not confirmed in a public source.
Norges Bank's tokenisation network: the primary source is Norges Bank's own LinkedIn post of 7 Sep 2026. It is not published on norges-bank.no.
ESMA: Carlo Comporti has been approved by the European Parliament as the new chair from 1 Nov 2026, but awaits the Council's decision.
Storting finance committee: only the chair and deputy chairs are listed for now.
ESMA's interim MiCA register is a CSV snapshot (checked 3 Oct 2026); national registers may be more up to date.
Sweden: ministers are not listed while a new government is being formed after the September 2026 election.
Private-sector people outside Norway are only included where a public source names their role (so far only Virtune's CEO). More will be added by the researcher with sources.
Legal entity identifiers, organisation numbers and addresses from the registers are deliberately left out.
