The MiCA Regulation brings significant changes and challenges. Stratoor Consulting provides comprehensive support to prepare for and implement the new requirements.

"In September 2020, the EU Commission introduced the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) as part of its Digital Finance Package, aiming to establish a unified regulatory framework for crypto assets across the EU. With its official adoption in June of last year, the transition period began, giving companies and investors time to prepare for the new requirements. MiCA will take effect in two phases starting on 30 June 2024: first, specific rules will apply to stablecoins (Asset-Referenced Tokens and E-Money Tokens), followed by harmonized rules for crypto-asset service providers from 30 December 2024."

The MiCA Regulation in Detail

New Classifications for Crypto Assets
MiCA divides crypto assets into three main categories: Asset-Referenced Tokens, E-Money Tokens, and other crypto assets. Each category is subject to specific regulatory requirements. To ensure your business complies with the correct framework, it is crucial to understand and apply these classifications accurately.

Transparency and Disclosure Requirements
Before publicly offering crypto assets, providers must meet comprehensive transparency and disclosure obligations. This means providing detailed information about the characteristics, risks, and rights of the crypto assets. This is particularly important for providers of Asset-Referenced Tokens and E-Money Tokens, which face additional requirements.

Authorization Requirements for Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs)
Providers of crypto-asset services must obtain authorization from the relevant national authority. Requirements include organizational, governance, and operational standards. Once authorized, you can offer your services across the EU.

How to Prepare Your Business for MiCA

Review and Adapt Your Business Plan
Start by reviewing your business plan to ensure it meets the new requirements. Define your expansion strategy and select the EU member state for your headquarters. Develop a model for cross-border operations and ensure all crypto assets are correctly classified.

Build the Organizational Structure
Your internal structure must comply with regulatory standards. Establish control functions such as compliance, risk management, and anti-money laundering officers to ensure adherence to the new regulations.

Staff Planning
Develop a detailed plan for recruiting executives and employees responsible for key control functions. Start early to avoid potential delays in hiring suitable candidates.

Ownership Structure Control
Ensure that your ownership structure is transparent. This is critical to avoid delays in the authorization process and to guarantee that all relevant information is correctly documented.

Develop Internal Processes and Procedures
Implement internal processes and procedures that ensure regulatory compliance. This includes policies for risk management, compliance, IT security, and other essential areas.

Registering Your Company Under MiCA: Step-by-Step

Prepare Required Documentation
Ensure all necessary documents and information are ready for the authorization application. This includes business plans, organizational structures, and proof of compliance with regulatory requirements.

Submit Application to the National Competent Authority (NCA)
Submit your authorization application to the NCA of the EU member state where you intend to offer your services. The application must include all required information and comply with regulatory standards.

Meet Requirements and Review
After submission, the NCA will review your application and may request additional information. Respond promptly and accurately to any additional requirements to avoid delays.

Obtain Authorization
Once approved, you will receive authorization to provide crypto-asset services across the EU. This authorization allows you to operate EU-wide using the “passporting” mechanism.
