Finanstilsynet, Norway’s financial market supervisor, has confirmed that, pursuant to MiCA Article 60(3), AK Jensen Norway AS may offer crypto asset services starting February 2026.
The company may offer services such as receiving and transmitting crypto-asset orders on behalf of its clients, as well as crypto-asset portfolio management.
This aligns with the Norwegian Crypto Assets Act, a national law that implements the EU’s Market in Crypto Assets regulation (MiCA).
According to the rules, investment firms such as AK Jensen Norway AS need to inform Finanstilsynet about their intention of providing crypto-asset services at least 40 days before the intended start. Finanstilsynet then assesses whether the proposed services meet the criteria under MiCA Article 60(7) and related technical standards.
Upon obtaining the formal authorization, the company’s management and board will need to ensure that the routines, guidelines, and processes are updated and followed as defined in the Crypto Assets Act and associated regulations while considering the exemptions from certain MiCA requirements for investment firms.
The company will also need to ensure that the use of ICT services is aligned with the requirements stemming from DORA.
AK Jensen Norway AS is part of the broader AK Jensen Group established in 1995. The group offers financial and digital assets services across multiple European countries, including in the Netherlands, Malta, Lithuania, and Estonia.
