Two Collect & Exchange entities have approvals for different services in Cyprus and through the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) FinTech Lab, showing how permissions vary by regulator and jurisdiction.
Collect & Exchange Ltd had an AFSA FinTech Lab permission in force from Aug. 21, 2023. It covers money services tied to digital assets, acting as an agent in investment dealings and arranging investment deals. The lab lets participants trial services before they seek full authorization.
The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) entry identifies Collect & Exchange CY Ltd under license CASP003/25 and gives Sept. 22, 2025, as its registration date. Its four listed services are custody and administration of crypto assets, transfers on behalf of clients, exchanges of crypto assets for funds and exchanges between crypto assets.
Because the permissions belong to separate entities and regulators, their lists define different scopes. The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) limits an authorization to the services identified in its approval.
