Crypto Wallet & Custody Development in Lithuania: market overview
Lithuania issues many EU e-money and payment licences, so fintechs there need payment, IBAN and compliance platforms. That is why crypto wallet & custody development projects for Lithuania clients are a growing share of our work.
Demand is strongest across EMI & payments, Fintech and Crypto, and every engagement is shaped by local regulation, payment habits and working hours rather than a one-size-fits-all template.

How key sectors in Lithuania use crypto wallet & custody development
Crypto Wallet & Custody Development for EMI & payments
EMI & payments businesses in Lithuania usually need high approval rates, local payment methods, payouts and automated reconciliation. For them, our crypto wallet & custody development typically starts with policy engine (whitelists, limits and multi-approver workflows for treasuries) and adds dapp connectivity as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on authorisation rate and cost per transaction.
Crypto Wallet & Custody Development for Fintech
Fintech businesses in Lithuania usually need secure onboarding, ledgers that reconcile to the cent, real-time payments and audit-ready reporting. For them, our crypto wallet & custody development typically starts with multi-chain support (bTC, ETH, EVM L2s, Solana, Tron and stablecoins) and adds compliance hooks as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.
Crypto Wallet & Custody Development for Crypto
Crypto businesses in Lithuania usually need licence-ready custody, transaction monitoring, wallet security and clear user disclosures. For them, our crypto wallet & custody development typically starts with dapp connectivity (walletConnect, swaps, staking and NFT views) and adds non-custodial wallets as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on deposit-to-trade conversion and withdrawal processing time.
Example: crypto wallet & custody development for a emi & payments business in Vilnius
Consider a emi & payments company in Vilnius (emis, fintechs and shared-services centres). A typical crypto wallet & custody development engagement would start with policy engine, then multi-chain support, and finish the first release with dapp connectivity — usually within 2–4 months.
Payments would run through CENTROlink, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on authorisation rate, cost per transaction and payout time.
Example: crypto wallet & custody development for a crypto business in Kaunas
Consider a crypto company in Kaunas (engineering and it companies). A typical crypto wallet & custody development engagement would start with compliance hooks, then non-custodial wallets, and finish the first release with mpc custody — usually within 3–5 months.
Payments would run through SEPA Instant, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on deposit-to-trade conversion, withdrawal processing time and share of assets in cold custody.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for crypto wallet & custody development
Before launch in Lithuania, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Lithuania customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Lithuania.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with Bank of Lithuania applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for crypto wallet & custody development in Lithuania
For clients in Lithuania we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
