OK, I've found the following in the Article 3 of a MiCA draft:
(8) ‘crypto-asset service provider’ means any person whose occupation or business
is the provision of one or more crypto-asset services to third parties on a
professional basis;
(9) ‘crypto-asset service’ means any of the services and activities listed below
relating to any crypto-asset:
(a) the custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of third parties;
(b) the operation of a trading platform for crypto-assets;
(c) the exchange of crypto-assets for fiat currency that is legal tender;
(d) the exchange of crypto-assets for other crypto-assets;
(e) the execution of orders for crypto-assets on behalf of third parties;
(f) placing of crypto-assets;
(g) the reception and transmission of orders for crypto-assets on behalf of
third parties
(h) providing advice on crypto-assets;
and they further define what all of that means.
Based on this, I believe that neither miners nor LN nodes are CASPs. However, LN nodes that offer swaps between Taro tokens and plain sats are definitely CASPs.

That sounds bad.

The press release says:
Apparently for EU p2p happens when there's no provider. That would just be crypto meetups, I guess?
