Proprietary EU integration framework

EU CASP-as-a-Service Integration

SKY7 maps the regulatory perimeter, selects a suitable EU provider, prepares the onboarding file and coordinates implementation for embedded and provider-led crypto service models.

Request a CASP fit assessment

Advisory and integration, not a rented authorisation

SKY7 applies its proprietary EU CASP Integration Framework as an independent B2B adviser, provider-selection lead and integration coordinator. SKY7 does not provide regulated crypto-asset services, hold client funds or crypto-assets, control private keys, execute orders or lend another firm's authorisation to a client.

A selected EU provider supplies any regulated service under a separate agreement, within the scope verified for that provider and subject to its own acceptance, compliance review and target-market availability. The provider remains responsible for its regulatory duties. The client remains responsible for its product, disclosures, customer interface and every duty allocated to it in the agreed operating model.

Route facts

Decision brief

Who it fits

B2B fintech, payment, wallet and digital-asset teams that want to add EU-facing crypto functionality without presenting themselves as the regulated service provider.

The decision

Determine which activities are regulated, which party performs each activity, and whether a provider-led, embedded, API or white-label arrangement is defensible.

Expected outputs

Perimeter map, provider-fit matrix, evidence log, onboarding pack, responsibility matrix and implementation readiness plan tailored to the proposed flow.

Main constraints

Provider scope, market coverage, risk appetite, contracting model, custody design, fiat rails, data handling and customer approval can each change the viable route.

Responsibility boundary

Function	Primary owner	Public operating boundary

Overview

Capability families that may be scoped

The framework does not advertise one universal bundle. The following capability families may be available only where the selected provider's verified scope, operating model, target market and approval support them.

Custody and wallet operations

Custody, wallet infrastructure or key-control arrangements may be considered with explicit client contracting, asset segregation and responsibility mapping.

Exchange and conversion

Crypto-to-crypto or crypto-to-fiat functionality may be scoped only after the activity, counterparty chain and fiat leg have been classified.

Execution and transfer

Order execution or crypto-asset transfer flows may be assessed with venue, routing, KYT and Travel Rule responsibilities documented.

Liquidity connectivity

Liquidity or execution connectivity may be evaluated as a provider dependency, not represented as a service supplied by SKY7.

API and embedded delivery

APIs, widgets or embedded journeys may support delivery, but technical integration does not transfer the provider's authorisation to SKY7 or the client.

White-label presentation

A branded interface may be possible where contracts and disclosures continue to identify the regulated provider and avoid a misleading regulatory halo.

The EU perimeter after the MiCA transition

As of July 2026, EU crypto-asset services must be supplied by a CASP authorised under MiCA or by an eligible financial entity permitted to provide the relevant services. Legacy national VASP status is not treated as current MiCA authorisation. Cross-border availability is checked for the target market instead of being inferred from a provider's general regulatory status.

API, embedded, outsourcing and white-label structures are operating arrangements, not ways to transfer an authorisation. A regulated CASP remains responsible when it outsources functions. Fiat payments and related safeguarding require their own authorised delivery chain. Tokenisation and RWA models also pass a separate classification gate because a token may be a financial instrument or another product outside MiCA rather than a crypto-asset covered by the proposed CASP arrangement.

SKY7 EU CASP Integration Framework

Discover the operating model
Capture the product, customer journey, target EU markets, asset flows, fiat touchpoints, technology stack and intended role of every participant.
Map the regulatory perimeter
Classify each activity and separate regulated crypto services, payment services, technology functions, distribution and client-owned obligations.
Define the provider-fit matrix
Translate the model into evidence criteria covering scope, market availability, custody, contracting, risk appetite, resilience, data and integration requirements.
Verify candidate evidence
Check live regulatory records, authority evidence and operating materials privately before a provider is proposed for the client model.
Prepare provider onboarding
Build a coherent corporate, ownership, compliance, product and flow package that allows the provider to assess the client on accurate information.
Fix the responsibility architecture
Document customer contracting, disclosures, custody, payments, AML, KYT, Travel Rule, complaints, incidents, data handling, audit rights and exit responsibilities.
Coordinate integration readiness
Align legal documents, controls, API design, testing evidence, operational procedures and launch gates while preserving the provider's independent approval decision.

FAQ

EU CASP integration FAQ

01 Is SKY7 the CASP or regulated crypto service provider?

No. SKY7 provides perimeter analysis, provider selection, onboarding preparation and integration coordination. Any regulated crypto-asset service is supplied by the selected EU provider under a separate agreement and only within its verified scope and approval.

02 Does an API or white-label model transfer the provider's authorisation to us?

No. An API, embedded journey or branded interface changes delivery mechanics, not the regulatory identity of the service provider. Contracts, customer disclosures and operations must continue to show which party supplies each service and which duties the client retains.

03 Which crypto capabilities can the framework support?

Custody, exchange, execution, transfer, wallet, liquidity and related technical capabilities may be assessed. Availability depends on verified provider scope, target market, customer type, asset model, delivery structure and independent provider approval.

04 Will SKY7 publish the identity of its provider panel?

No. Candidate identities and evidence remain confidential. The selected provider's legal identity, regulatory basis, relevant scope, geographic availability, client-contract role and applicable commercial terms are disclosed privately before a provider-specific proposal, onboarding, personal-data transfer or agreement.

05 Is provider acceptance guaranteed?

No. Every provider performs its own risk, compliance and commercial review. SKY7 improves decision quality and submission readiness, but it cannot approve a client, promise access to a capability or override a provider's risk appetite.

06 Are fiat payments and tokenised RWA projects automatically covered?

No. Fiat accounts, payment services, settlement and safeguarding require a separately verified authorised delivery chain. An RWA or tokenisation project first needs legal classification because the instrument may sit outside MiCA and require a different route.

Sources and review note

Last reviewed in July 2026. The public perimeter was checked against Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on markets in crypto-assets, Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 on transfer information, Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 on digital operational resilience, the ESMA MiCA register and ESMA statements on the end of transitional periods and regulatory halo risk. Provider-specific facts are deliberately excluded and must be reverified against live register and authority evidence before use.
