The EBA consults on draft Guidelines on internal governance arrangement for issuers of asset-referenced tokens under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched  a public consultation on its new Guidelines on internal governance arrangements for issuers of asset referenced tokens (ARTs) under the Market in crypto-assets Regulation (MiCAR). These Guidelines specify the governance provisions that these issuers should comply with, taking into account the proportionality principle. This governance framework aims at ensuring a sound management of all risks associated with the activities of issuers of ARTs, such as operational risks, including fraud, cyber, and compliance risks. In addition, the provisions aim to adequately protect consumers and investors. The consultation runs until 22 January 2024.
