BMP Global offers a turnkey solution to register a VASP in Bulgaria - one of the most attractive options during the pre-MiCA regulatory window.

Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) Licensing in Bulgaria

Fast, Cost-Effective and Low Complexity Entry to the Licensed Crypto Operations

From 3 to 4 weeks.

Fully remote setup and management.

Non-resident executives accepted.

Simplified compliance and reporting.

European jurisdiction.

Bulgaria remains in a pre-MiCA stage, operating under national anti-money laundering rules without full MiCA implementation yet. This enables a simpler, faster, and more cost-effective VASP registration compared to other EU countries with complex licensing regimes.

Pre-MiCA Opportunity

Favorable Timing

Fast Market Entry

Why Choose Bulgaria for Your Crypto Business?

The current regime is expected to stay in place at least until end of 2025, with a likely transition period extending into 2026. Early registration secures your operational base before stricter MiCA requirements take effect.

Company setup and VASP registration can be completed within 3 to 4 weeks, allowing you to quickly launch crypto services and engage with banking providers that recognize Bulgarian-registered VASPs.

Buying and selling virtual assets for fiat currencies (e.g., crypto-to-EUR, crypto-to-USD). Exchanging one virtual asset for another (crypto-to-crypto exchange).
