What changes are planned? The new bill deals with the operation of virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and will introduce the KYC (Know Your Customer) rules. The local companies will be banned from opening anonymous wallets and serving customers who have not been identified.
In addition, the authorities plan to increase the share capital requirements for obtaining an Estonian license. If the new law is adopted, the virtual asset service providers will have to have a minimum share capital of between 125 000 EUR and 350 000 EUR, depending on the type of services provided.
