The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority has confirmed that AK Jensen Norway AS may provide specified crypto-asset services in Norway under Article 60 of the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), with the permission effective from 2 February 2026. The decision is issued in the context of Norway’s Crypto-Assets Act, which has applied since 1 July 2025 and requires firms in scope to obtain authorisation from Finanstilsynet before offering services in Norway. The permission covers reception and transmission of orders in crypto-assets on behalf of clients and portfolio management of crypto-assets. Finanstilsynet assessed the firm’s notification (submitted on 1 August 2025) as complete under MiCA Article 60(7) and (8) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/303, and concluded the intended crypto-asset services fall within the scope of AK Jensen Norway AS’s existing investment firm authorisation under the Securities Trading Act. The permission is limited to the services specified and to crypto-asset services corresponding to the firm’s existing investment services; providing other crypto-asset services would require authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider under MiCA. The decision also notes that revocation of the firm’s investment services licence would remove its ability to provide corresponding crypto-asset services under MiCA Article 60. Finanstilsynet will forward relevant information to the European Securities and Markets Authority in line with MiCA, update the business register, and publish the decision.
