MiCA Webinar 2 – Crypto-assets caught by TradFi regulation in the EU – 22 February 2024

Before the provisions of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (MiCA) are applicable to crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and issuers, the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) are releasing consultations on MiCA’s secondary legislation, standards and guidelines that will set out requirements for firms impacted by MiCA. On 29 January, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published an important consultation covering ESMA’s proposed guidelines for the qualification of crypto-assets as financial instruments. XReg’s Ernest Lima and Ana James provide a clear, concise overview of how ESMA’s proposed guidelines on the qualification of crypto-assets as financial instruments will likely affect the future of crypto-asset issuance in Europe. They cover: • An overview of how National Competent Authorities (NCAs) will likely categorise assets • The key types of financial instruments that some crypto-assets may be categorised as • The impact of the guidelines on the industry and NCAs • Key points in the consultation that need further clarification from ESMA XReg Consulting is a public policy and regulatory affairs consultancy specialising in crypto.
