Take Action Before Everyone Else Does | Crypto Regulation Update 2025

---

Since July 1st, 2024, Portugal has been operating in a legal no man’s land when it comes to crypto and Web3 investments. While the rest of Europe is moving forward under the EU’s groundbreaking MiCA Regulation, Portugal is stuck in limbo without a designated supervisory authority to oversee crypto asset services.

This vacuum is creating serious uncertainty for investors, innovators, and startups alike. But within this uncertainty lies a once-in-a-lifetime window of opportunity… if you act now.

🚫 No Regulator, No Rules… and No Protection?

Here’s what you need to know:

• MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) is now fully in force across the European Union since December 30, 2024.

• MiCA requires a national supervisory authority to approve and oversee virtual asset service providers (VASPs).

• Portugal has not yet appointed this authority, meaning that no new companies can be licensed under MiCA even if they meet all requirements.

• The Bank of Portugal, previously responsible, has lost this authority (except in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing cases).

➡️ Bottom line: You can’t apply to launch a crypto service in Portugal under MiCA. You can’t get licensed. You can’t grow. Unless you already had approval pre-MiCA, you’re stuck.

⚠️ Legal Uncertainty = Investor Panic

This situation is triggering real fear among investors. Without a regulator:

• There’s no official recourse in case of disputes.

• Customer protections and complaint systems are unclear.

• Insolvency rules for crypto platforms are in question.

Even Portugal’s own CMVM (Securities Market Commission) admits that while companies should segregate client assets and offer complaint mechanisms, there’s no one to enforce it.

💡 But Here’s the Twist: Crisis = Opportunity

According to Paulo Cardoso do Amaral, professor at Católica-Lisbon:

“We have knowledge, we have talent, we have companies… but we don’t have an authority to allow them to operate.”

He sees this legal gap as a critical threat to Portugal’s economy, but also a rare innovation window:

✅ Why?

Because MiCA brings real legitimacy to crypto. It recognizes stablecoins (e-money tokens) as real monetary assets. It legalizes tokenization of economic activity from banking to payments, to real-world assets.

So, as soon as Portugal appoints its regulator, the floodgates will open.

The first-movers who prepare NOW will lead the market tomorrow.

🚀 What Should You Do Right Now?

1. Start building your compliance strategy under MiCA rules (even if Portugal isn’t ready, you should be).

2. Connect with legal and regulatory experts who understand the EU framework.

3. Position your project to apply immediately when Portugal finally names its authority.

4. Keep operating legally if you’re one of the 10 companies previously licensed by the Bank of Portugal.

5. Be cautious: Without official oversight, your risks are higher. Only use trusted platforms and verify where your assets are stored.

🧭 The Big Picture: Portugal Must Decide Fast

Crypto isn’t waiting. Investors aren’t waiting. The technology is ready. The market is ready. The law is ready.

What’s missing is political will and speed in Portugal.

Until then, the vacuum continues and so do the risks and missed opportunities.

But if you’re bold enough to prepare now, you could be the one who’s ready when everyone else scrambles.
