For the EU crypto-asset rules, the contracting legal entity is GG Digital, a.s., established in the Czech Republic. Its national competent authority is the Czech National Bank (CNB), which authorises and supervises crypto-asset service providers in the Czech Republic under MiCA. The CNB register is the authoritative place to confirm the firm's current authorisation status and any conditions attached to it. Source: Czech National Bank
Under its MiCA authorisation, GG Digital, a.s. is recorded for the following crypto-asset services: custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients, exchange of crypto-assets for funds, exchange of crypto-assets for other crypto-assets, portfolio management of crypto-assets, and transfer services for crypto-assets. That combination covers holding client crypto, converting between crypto and currency, swapping one crypto-asset for another, managing crypto portfolios, and moving crypto between addresses.

The authorisation does not, on the basis of the recorded services, extend to MiCA activities outside that list - for example operating a trading platform for crypto-assets, placing crypto-assets, reception and transmission of orders, or providing advice on crypto-assets are not among the services listed here. The available research does not confirm a founding year, specific EUR or SEPA payment rails, staking, savings or card features, so those are not asserted. Prospective users should rely on the firm's own legal disclosures and the CNB register for the precise current scope. Sources: Golden Gate published information, Czech National Bank
