Artikel 1 Anwendungsbereich

Summary What does Article 1 of the RTS on own funds adjustment timeframe say?

This is the scope article of the Regulation, defining which entities it applies to.

It covers issuers of asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens, drawing a distinction between those classified as significant and those that are not.

Notably, non-significant issuers are not automatically excluded — they can still fall within scope if directed to comply by a competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, which provides the broader MiCA framework this Regulation sits within.

Important points:

Issuers of significant asset-referenced tokens and electronic money institutions issuing significant e-money tokens are automatically in scope.
Issuers of non-significant tokens are also in scope where a competent authority requires it under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
The scope covers both asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens, treating them as two distinct but parallel categories throughout.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Diese Verordnung gilt für die folgenden Emittenten von vermögenswertereferenzierten Token oder von E-Geld-Token:
