MiCA in Greece 2026: Join Bcash’s Seminar on CASP Licensing, AML Supervision, DORA and Tax Transparency
Bcash invites professionals from the crypto, legal, compliance and financial services sectors to an essential full-day seminar on the future of crypto-asset regulation in Greece. On Tuesday, 19 May 2026, at the Royal Olympic Hotel in Athens, industry participants will come together to explore the real business impact of MiCA, Law 5193/2025, AML supervision, DORA and tax transparency at a moment when the market is entering a new phase of regulation, responsibility and opportunity.
Designed for businesses, advisors and decision-makers who want to stay ahead of the curve, the seminar offers valuable insight into the issues shaping the market today: CASP licensing and supervision in Greece, AML obligations and the Travel Rule, tokenisation, stablecoins, tax treatment and the wider European transparency framework. It is an important opportunity to gain practical knowledge and prepare more effectively for the requirements ahead.
What gives this event particular value is the level of the institutions that will be represented, including the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, the Hellenic Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the Cyber Crime Division, the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) and the Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP). The presence of supervisory, enforcement and regulatory authorities significantly enhances the importance of the discussion and makes this seminar a key reference point for the market.
Beyond the programme itself, the event offers a complete professional experience. From 14:00 to 15:30, participants will enjoy a relaxed buffet lunch and networking break, providing the ideal setting to unwind, enjoy good food and continue meaningful conversations with representatives of key authorities and industry professionals.
