Armenia consulted on outsourcing approval for crypto-asset providers

On 17 September 2026, the Central Bank of Armenia published draft Regulation 7/13 for consultation as part of the secondary rules implementing the Law on Crypto-Assets. The draft concerns delegation of functions by crypto-asset service providers.

Its title covers the procedure, conditions and time limits for obtaining the CBA’s prior consent, together with grounds for refusal. Interested parties were invited to submit comments by 1 October 2026. The regulator also described plans to discuss the proposals received with their authors.

The subject is relevant to providers’ use of external contractors. That consultation deadline has passed. The announcement records a September proposal and does not itself establish that final requirements have been adopted or entered into force.
