CECABANK

What the authorisation covers

CECABANK is authorised for 3 of the ten crypto-asset services defined in Article 3(1)(16) of MiCA. It is not authorised for operating a trading platform, exchange for funds, exchange for other crypto-assets, execution of orders, placing of crypto-assets, advice on crypto-assets, portfolio management — if it offers those, that activity is outside this licence.

• a Custody and administration 1 country Holding clients' crypto-assets or the private keys to them, and keeping them safe. This is what a wallet service or an exchange that keeps your coins does.
• b Operating a trading platform not authorised Running a marketplace where buyers and sellers of crypto-assets are matched — an order-book exchange in the strict sense.
• c Exchange for funds not authorised Buying crypto-assets from clients, or selling to them, against money (euro or another currency) using the provider's own capital.
• d Exchange for other crypto-assets not authorised Swapping one crypto-asset for another with the client, using the provider's own capital — for example bitcoin for a stablecoin.
• e Execution of orders not authorised Concluding purchases or sales of crypto-assets on the client's behalf, including on a third-party trading platform.
• f Placing of crypto-assets not authorised Marketing newly issued crypto-assets to buyers on behalf of the issuer — the crypto equivalent of underwriting or an IPO placement.
• g Reception and transmission of orders 1 country Taking a client's order to buy or sell and passing it on to another provider that executes it — a broker that does not execute itself.
• h Advice on crypto-assets not authorised Giving personalised recommendations to a client about buying, selling or holding specific crypto-assets.
• i Portfolio management not authorised Managing a client's crypto-asset portfolio with discretion, under a mandate — deciding what to buy and sell on their behalf.
• j Transfer services 1 country Moving crypto-assets from one distributed-ledger address or account to another on the client's behalf.
