Under current Slovak legislation, a regulated trade is required to provide some services related to crypto-assets (providing virtual currency wallet services and providing virtual currency exchange services). On 30. 12. 2024, the previous legislation was replaced by the European MiCA regulation. Based on MiCA, crypto-asset service providers need a permit from the NBS or a relevant foreign supervisory authority for their activities. Persons who were authorised to provide virtual currency exchange services or virtual currency wallet services in the Slovak Republic before 30. 12. 2024 may provide crypto-asset services no later than 30.12. 2025. After this date, only those entities that have a permit to provide crypto-asset services from the NBS or a relevant foreign supervisory authority will be able to carry out the activity in question.
