Moldovan authorities are strengthening their knowledge of virtual assets to align national legislation with the EU Markets in Cryptoassets Regulation (MiCA) - the National Commission for Financial Market (NCFM)
This was announced by the National Commission for Financial Market (NCFM), noting that an NCFM delegation, led by its Deputy Chairman, Vladimir Rusnac, participated in a seminar held under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and dedicated to the regulation and supervision of virtual assets. The event took place on October 30–31 in Helsinki as part of the projects "Supporting the Moldovan government's anti-corruption efforts" and "Innovative policy solutions to mitigate money laundering risks associated with virtual assets." Representatives from several Moldovan government agencies participated in the seminar, including the National Bank of Moldova, the Anti-Money Laundering Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Agency for the Recovery of Criminally Obtained Assets, and the Intelligence and Security Service. The visit focused on Finland's experience in regulating, supervising, and licensing cryptoasset service providers (CASPs). The program included meetings with representatives of the Financial Intelligence Unit and the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority to discuss the legislative framework, regulatory mechanisms, and supervision of the cryptocurrency market, as well as best practices applied at the European level. The main goal of the visit was to strengthen the Moldovan authorities' knowledge of virtual assets and implement best European practices necessary for harmonizing the national regulatory framework with Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on markets in cryptoassets (MiCA).// 04.11.2025 — InfoMarket
