On 29 November 2024, the European Commission published on its
official gazette the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU)
2024/2984 which outlines regulatory technical standards for the
preparation of forms, formats, and templates for the preparation of
crypto-asset white papers. These new regulatory technical standards
are part of the broader Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 market in
crypto-assets (MiCAR), aiming to maximise transparency, investor
protection, and market integrity.
We summarise the key points below.
Key highlights:
1. Standardised templates for white
papers
Crypto-asset issuers must follow specific templates to present
their projects clearly and uniformly, covering different types of
crypto-assets like asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and e-money
tokens (EMTs).
