The Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic submitted to the MPK a draft law on certain obligations and authorizations in the field of crypto-assets . This bill is intended to implement Regulation no. 2023/1114 on crypto-asset markets (the ” MiCA Regulation “), which represents Europe’s first comprehensive harmonized framework for crypto-asset markets. Although the MiCA regulation will be directly effective, the draft law contains some provisions that are necessary to harmonize the Slovak legal order with this regulation, such as establishing the NBS as a supervisory authority. Thus, NBS will, for example, be authorized to grant permission to publicly offer tokens linked to assets and request their acceptance for trading, or to grant permission to cryptoasset service providers.
