On the licensing question: the contracting legal entity is TÝR MARKETS AS, established in Norway and supervised by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet). It holds authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which under the EEA passporting regime allows a Norwegian-authorised CASP to operate across the European market. Its own site describes it as 'Norway's first MiCA-regulated crypto platform', a claim echoed by industry coverage reporting that TÝR Markets became the first Norwegian crypto broker to receive MiCA authorisation from Finanstilsynet.

The MiCA authorisation covers a defined list of crypto-asset services. For TÝR MARKETS AS these are 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. The licence does not extend to MiCA services outside that list, such as operating a trading platform, placement, reception and transmission of orders, execution of orders on behalf of clients, advice, or portfolio management; clients should not assume coverage of services not named in the register.
