On 15 July 2024, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published a CP on draft GLs on templates to assist competent authorities (CAs) in performing their supervisory duties regarding issuers’ compliance under Titles III and IV of Regulation 2023/1114/EU (MiCAR). The draft GLs are meant to assist CAs and the EBA in performing their duties under MiCAR and specify common templates and instructions for issuers of asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and certain e-money tokens (EMTs) to provide CAs and the EBA with the necessary information to perform their duties. The draft GLs also include common templates and instructions which issuers should use to collect the data they need from the relevant crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). The EBA also published, among others, a Data Point Model (DPM) and validation rules.
Stakeholder comments on the CP can be submitted on the EBA’s consultation page by 15 October 2024 at 23h59. The EBA will hold a virtual public hearing on the CP on 20 September 2024 from 10h30 to 12h CET. Interested stakeholders are invited to register using this link by 18 September 2024 at 16h CET. It is expected that the draft GLs will apply from 2 months after the publication of the translation in all official languages of the EU.
