Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR) webinar series - Session 1: Types of Tokens under MiCAR
Speakers
The MiCAR officially came into force in June 2023 and will begin to apply from 30 June 2024 and 30 December 2024. This new regulation covers crypto-assets that are currently outside the scope of existing financial services legislation. The key provisions apply to those issuing and trading crypto-assets, including asset-reference tokens and e-money tokens, and they cover crucial areas such as transparency, disclosure, authorisation, and supervision of transactions.
Our webinar series offers an in-depth exploration of the MiCAR, led by our expert Financial Regulatory team. They will provide guidance on a wide array of issues associated with the new regulations, ensuring your business is well-equipped to adapt. Each webinar is tailored to focus on a specific aspect of the MiCAR, from understanding the different types of tokens to the regulation of service providers and issuers, as well as comparisons with existing regulations like MiFID II.
