On the regulatory question, the contracting legal entity is Pluso a.s., established in the Czech Republic, and its competent authority is the Czech National Bank (CNB), which is the sole authority for crypto-asset service provider authorisation under MiCA in the Czech Republic. The available data records Pluso a.s. 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, and transfer services for crypto-assets.

Those four named services do not, on the basis of the available data, extend to other MiCA crypto-asset services such as placing of crypto-assets, operating a trading platform, reception and transmission of orders, execution of orders, providing advice, or portfolio management. Details that the research does not establish - including founding year, registered headquarters, the full asset range beyond Bitcoin, and whether the service supports EUR or SEPA, staking, savings or a card - are therefore not stated here.
