## Source summary

The Paypers reports that Latvijas Banka authorised Noah LV SIA as both a MiCA crypto-asset service provider and a payment institution. The permissions cover specified custody, exchange, order execution and transfer activities, alongside payment transactions. EU cross-border use of the crypto-asset authorisation still requires the relevant notification process; the report does not establish deployment in every EU market.

## Why it matters

The licences connect digital-asset services with fund-based payments while retaining distinct regulatory scopes.

## Key numbers
