The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority said the transition period under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, or MiCA, ended on June 30, which means only firms with authorisation may now offer crypto-asset services in Sweden. Firms that do not have authorisation, or are no longer covered by transitional rules, should stop offering crypto services to consumers in the European Union and wind down their business in an orderly way. Consumers using or considering a crypto service should check whether the provider is authorised under MiCA in Sweden or another European Union country through the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority or European Securities and Markets Authority registers. Firms that previously operated without MiCA authorisation must inform customers how services are affected and how they can manage their crypto-assets, including by moving assets to an authorised firm, transferring them to a personal crypto wallet or closing their position. MiCA authorisation brings requirements on customer disclosures, complaints handling, conflicts of interest and protection of client assets, but the authority said crypto remains highly risky even when services are provided by an authorised firm. As of June 30, 2026, Safello AB had been authorised by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority as a crypto-asset service provider in Sweden, and 77 firms authorised in other European Union countries could offer services to Swedish consumers. QB Europe AB and Ijort Invest AB were refused authorisation and have appealed those decisions, and both may continue certain activities while court rulings are pending.
