Introducing CASP.eu: Your Beacon in the Crypto-Asset Landscape!

It gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of CASP.eu, a dedicated and specialised platform which serves as an informational guide to the intricate sphere of crypto-assets and their related services. It is available via two other domains, www.crypto-assets.lu and www.cryptoassets.lu, underscoring our commitment to ensuring ease of accessibility.

CASP.eu stands at the forefront of crypto-asset information, offering valuable insights into MiCA (and related regulations) and the world of these digital assets, along with comprehensive knowledge on Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs).

A crypto-asset is defined as a digital representation of a value or a right that can be transferred and stored electronically using distributed ledger technology or similar technology. On the other hand, a CASP is a legal entity or other enterprise whose profession or business is the provision of one of more crypto-asset services. There are three classes of CASPs, each with distinct services they are authorised to provide, ranging from transfer services for crypto-assets to operating a trading platform for crypto-assets.

The content of CASP.eu is meticulously curated by myself, Ruben Mendes. I am a practicing lawyer, admitted to the Luxembourg Bar in 2016, and have focused my professional pursuits on Intellectual Property, Technology Law, Data Protection, and Crypto-assets. I am specialised and certified in FinTech from Harvard University. In Mondaq, a globally recognised platform for expert analysis and commentary, I am one of the most-read authors in Luxembourg in the domain of IP and IT law.

It is important to note that while the website provides a wealth of information on crypto-assets and CASPs, the content is intended for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as legal consultation or advice.

As CASP.eu is in its early developmental phase, it is possible that some sections of the website are still under construction or may not yet be fully operational. Your understanding and patience during this period of growth are greatly appreciated, and your feedback on any encountered issues is most welcome.

In short, CASP.eu explores one of the three pivotal pillars that will shape the future economy - Artificial Intelligence (AI), Decentralised Finance (DeFi) including Blockchain/crypto-assets, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
