In April 2023, the European Parliament adopted a regulation on markets in crypto-assets, the so-called MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets), which sets a legal framework for crypto-assets across the EU. Crypto-assets, as a digital expression of value or rights that can be transferred and stored electronically using distributed transaction database technology or similar technology, have enjoyed increased popularity over the past decade, with current trends indicating a continuation of the established pace of expansion of the field. Generally, crypto-assets can be divided into crypto-assets expressing value and crypto-assets expressing rights. Crypto-assets expressing value are most often used as means of payment or investment instruments. In the case of so-called cryptocurrencies or tokens backed by assets (so-called stablecoins), one can observe overlap crypto-asset are tokens backed by money (so-called e-money tokens or electronic money tokens). Utility tokens and non-fungible tokens (so-called NFT) are a special group of crypto-assets that primarily express rights.

Certain activities can be carried out on the territory of the Slovak Republic only after the granting of a special permit, license or certificate by the relevant public authority. The performance of these activities is regulated by legal regulations and it is possible to perform them only after meeting the conditions established by these legal regulations. In general, if it is a regulated profession (regulated activity), in order to access the given profession (activity), you must have a specific second-level university education, pass special exams, or ) to perform and register with the relevant expert body.

Obtaining a business license can be a very time-consuming matter. It is therefore easier and more efficient for the client to outsource the preparation of the permit application itself, so that the time invested in starting or developing the business can be devoted to more important tasks.

Yes, we have mastered these types of activities, many several times and we do several of them regularly, even if they are not completely common for the Slovak market. Therefore, compared to the establishment of ordinary companies, requests for obtaining a permit to carry out business activities are not made so often.

Some authorizations, for example gambling licenses issued by the competent authority of the Slovak Republic, are valid only in our territory. If you want to do business in this field abroad (European Union), you must obtain the equivalent of this license in the respective country. Our law office can also find out whether your activity is specifically regulated in another EU country and at the same time help you with the registration process in these countries.
