Plasma is launching a global regulatory strategy to license its stablecoin infrastructure in key international markets.

To power a global money network, Plasma is taking ownership of its regulatory stack. The company has acquired a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP)-licensed entity in Italy and established a compliance hub in the Netherlands, a leading European payments region. Plasma has also hired experienced compliance personnel, including a Chief Compliance Officer and a Money Laundering Reporting Officer.

Next, Plasma will pursue Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorization under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, enabling custody and exchange of assets. Additionally, the company is preparing to apply for an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license to integrate fiat on/off ramps directly into its stablecoin infrastructure.

Licenses are a core component of Plasma’s product, enabling secure custody, compliant exchange flows, card issuance, and connectivity to local financial systems. By owning these licenses, Plasma reduces reliance on third parties, lowers costs, accelerates launches, and ensures stronger consumer protections.

This move allows Plasma to serve larger partners and tap into new regions, positioning them for significant growth in the global B2B payments landscape. The strategy includes aligning with major regulatory frameworks such as the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation and Hong Kong's stablecoin sandbox. The initiative reflects a broader trend of stablecoin issuers and infrastructure providers seeking regulatory clarity to foster mainstream adoption. This signals a maturation of the stablecoin industry, with a clear focus on building compliant and scalable infrastructure for global payments.
