Application Review Requirements and Expectations for Transitional Virtual Asset Service Providers
The Financial Services Authority has initiated a detailed application review phase for transitional virtual asset service providers, requiring submissions to accurately reflect operational readiness and existing governance structures. The Authority identified recurring deficiencies, including generic placeholder policies and insufficient local substance, prompting applicants to urgently revise documents and ensure key personnel demonstrate genuine expertise and independence. Applications failing to provide evidence-based, legally compliant submissions risk rejection or significant processing delays as the Authority enforces strict compliance without handholding.
