Art. 4 Criteria | RTS on stress test programmes | MiCA

When adopting the decision referred to in Article 35(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, the competent authority shall consider all the following risk assessment criteria:

whether the issuer of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens is likely to breach the requirements referred to in Article 34(1), (8) and (10) and Articles 36 to 39 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 within the following 12 months by assessing whether there are potential deficiencies or weaknesses of the issuer of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens in applying all the requirements set out in Article 34 and in Articles 36 to 39 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114;
whether redemption at par value and market value is ensured in normal or in stressed market circumstances;
whether there is an increased risk of a significant deterioration of the value of the reserve assets or the financial situation of the issuer of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens;
whether there is an increased operational risk arising from systems including the underlying distributed ledger and any trading platform, market infrastructure or payment system used for the issuance or the transfer of the token and from other third party crypto assets service providers such as custodians, which the tokens or reserve assets might rely on.
