On 28 February 2023, the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit issued new activity licenses to Finitive Technologies and Fingate Capital for providing virtual asset services. On 22 February, the applications for licence amendments were approved for Transcrypt and Ungaro.
  • Finitive Technologies OÜ licence No FVT000547, registry code 16313563
  • Fingate Capital OÜ licence No FVT000548, registry code 16062090
  • Transcrypt OÜ licence No FVT000091, registry code 14453691
  • Ungaro OÜ licence No FVT000088, registry code 14562753

The amendments of the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act took effect on 15 March 2022, which made additional requirements mandatory for the virtual asset service providers. Therefore, virtual asset service providers that have an activity license, had to make an application for the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit to assess the compliance with the new requirements.

As of 14 March 2023, there are 112 active licenses for providing virtual asset services in Estonia.
