ORWL advises Bull Bitcoin on obtaining its CASP authorisation from the AMF

ORWL_ is pleased to have advised Bull Bitcoin France (Leonod) on obtaining its crypto-asset service provider (CASP) authorisation from the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF).

Founded in 2013 in Canada, Bull Bitcoin is an international group specialising in bitcoin exchange services. Registered in France as a VASP since 2022, this CASP authorisation marks a decisive step in its roll-out across the European Union.

The authorisation covers exclusively the service of exchange of crypto-assets for fiat currency, in line with Bull Bitcoin’s non-custodial, bitcoin-only model. This deliberate scope reflects a regulatory approach consistent with the company’s positioning: the regulatory burden is proportionately reduced and client-side market risk is eliminated.

ORWL_’s lawyers, notably William O’Rorke and Imane Dahmani, advised the company across the full MiCA perimeter (regulatory analysis, formalisation of internal policies and procedures, AML/CFT compliance) as well as on matters relating to compliance with payment services regulation. Alexandre Lourimi advised on corporate structuring aspects.

ORWL_ is available to answer any questions you may have on the CASP authorisation process or MiCA compliance (contact page).
