Law as the infrastructure of innovation

We design the legal infrastructure on which innovation, growth and success are built. We work where regulation is densest — fintech, digital assets, complex M&A, banking — because that is where legal counsel makes the difference between an idea that stalls and a project that ships.

CASP authorisation covering eight of the ten MiCAR services for an Italian crypto-asset exchange

By resolution no. 24059 of 30 June 2026, CONSOB, in agreement with the Bank of Italy, authorised an Italian platform under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 to provide eight of the ten MiCAR services: custody and administration, execution of orders, exchange for funds and for other crypto-assets, transfer, advice, portfolio management and placing. The measure was adopted at the close of the transitional period. LX20’s managing partner supported the company throughout the authorisation procedure in his capacity as chief legal officer, alongside another law firm and the internal legal team.

Integrated CASP and EMI authorisation for a payments and crypto-asset operator

One of Italy’s first cases of integrated CASP + EMI authorisation concerned an operator already registered with the OAM. By resolution no. 24060 of 30 June 2026, after consulting the Bank of Italy, CONSOB authorised custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients, exchange for funds, exchange for other crypto-assets and transfer on behalf of clients under Article 16(1) of Legislative Decree 129/2024 and Article 63 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114. In parallel, Bank of Italy measure no. 0713266/26 of 23 June 2026, adopted by Governor’s resolution no. 193/2026, authorised the issuance of electronic money and the provision of the payment service under Article 1(2), letter h-septies.1, point 3.3 of the Italian Banking Act, through the establishment of a dedicated pool of assets under Article 114-quinquies of that Act. The infrastructure supports the movement of value between fiat currency, crypto-assets and stablecoins. LX20 advised the company in the CASP authorisation procedure under MiCAR and coordinated the transaction as a whole, with a team comprising the managing partner, a senior associate and a trainee. The EMI aspects were handled by another law firm.
