Article 2 Acknowledgement of the receipt of an application for approval of a crypto-asset white paper

Summary What does Article 2 of the RTS on crypto-asset white paper approval say?

This article sets out the immediate obligations of competent authorities upon receiving an application for approval of a crypto-asset white paper.

It directly follows from Article 1, which governs how credit institutions submit their applications, and establishes the first formal step in the competent authority's response process: confirming receipt and providing the applicant with basic administrative details to facilitate ongoing communication.

Important points:

Competent authorities are required to acknowledge receipt of a crypto-asset white paper application within 2 working days of receiving it.
The acknowledgement must include a reference number for the application.
Competent authorities must also provide a contact point within their organisation to which queries about the application can be directed.
