virtual-crypto asset service providers (VASP)

Lithuania currently has quite a favorable regulatory regime for the virtual-crypto asset service providers (VASP). In Lithuania there are 2 types of authorizations for the VASP: 

Virtual-crypto currency exchange operator - a legal person or branch established in the Republic of Lithuania that provides services of virtual-crypto currency exchange, purchase and/or sale for remuneration.

Depository virtual-crypto currency wallet operator - a legal person or branch established in the Republic of Lithuania that provides services of management of custodian virtual-crypto currency wallets on behalf of the clients

In Lithuania VASPs are subject to AML and CTF measures. The activities of VASPs are supervised by the Lithuanian Financial Crime Investigation Unit.
