According to PANews, the Estonian government has approved a bill to regulate cryptocurrency service providers, which now requires a parliamentary vote. Under the proposed legislation, crypto service providers will be regulated by the Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA). Currently, these providers are registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and must comply with anti-money laundering (AML) rules.
The FSA will begin issuing licenses in 2025, and FIU license holders must apply for an FSA license before the end of that year. The new bill will bring Estonia in line with the European Union's crypto asset market (MiCA) regulations.
