Wu Says has learned that the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) has issued consumer information explaining the role of crypto asset custody, wallets, access keys, and regulated service providers. The FMA said that the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) has established a unified regulatory framework for crypto asset service providers (CASPs), setting requirements for institutions that provide clients with crypto asset custody and management services. The FMA reminds consumers that while self-custody users have full control over their assets, they also must assume responsibility for safeguarding their access keys; if the keys are lost or fall into someone else’s hands, asset access is usually unrecoverable. Consumers can also choose a regulated CASP for custody and can check whether a service provider is authorized via the FMA’s company database.
