Crypto‑Asset Launch and Its Compliance Under MICA

The EU crypto‑asset sector now operates under a comprehensive regulatory framework. The Markets in Crypto‑Assets Regulation (MiCA, Reg. EU 2023/1114) introduces harmonised rules for the crypto-asset issuance, trading, and service provision across the EU.

Under MiCA, almost every token launch—unless it falls within a statutory exemption—must comply with the regulation’s full set of requirements. Whether you are planning to issue asset‑referenced tokens (ARTs), electronic money tokens (EMTs), or other crypto‑assets, compliance is not optional—it’s strategic.

We help you navigate this framework by translating regulatory obligations into a structured, step‑by‑step action plan, ensuring your project reaches investors efficiently and without legal friction.

What we handle:

• Crypto‑asset classification strategy - utility token, e‑money token, asset‑referenced token or out-of-scope? We map your token against the regulation and recommend the least‑burdensome path.
• White paper drafting & fine‑tuning - we help turn your project details into a MiCA‑compliant crypto‑asset white paper that still speaks the language of investors.
• Regulator touchpoints - filings, follow‑ups and clarifications with the competent authority —managed end‑to‑end by us.
• Launch‑stage legal advice - we deliver clear, actionable guidance at every stage of the issuance.
