On 15 July 2024, the European Banking Authority (EBA) issued a consultation paper containing draft guidelines on templates to assist Member State competent authorities in performing their supervisory duties regarding issuers’ compliance under Titles III and IV of the Regulation on markets in crypto-assets (MiCAR).

The draft guidelines specify the content and uniform formats for the submission of information used by Member State competent authorities when exercising their supervisory powers under Article 94(1)(a) and Titles III and IV of MiCAR and by the EBA when exercising its supervisory powers under Article 122 of that Regulation.

The draft guidelines are addressed to Member State competent authorities as defined in Article 3(1) point (35) of MiCAR and are also addressed to issuers of asset-referenced tokens and issuers of e-money tokens.
