MiCA – Questionnaire for financial entities considering an Article 60 notification

Financial entities covered by Article 60 of MiCA (Market in Crypto Assets Regulation) will have the option to provide crypto-asset services in the Union equivalent to the services and activities for which they are authorised under relevant EU law. A questionnaire is published in order to understand to what extent firms with a relevant authorisation are planning to notify MiCA services.

If you are an entity covered by Article 60 of MiCA (i.e. credit institution, central securities depository, investment firm, electronic money institution, UCITS management company or an alternative investment fund manager, market operator) and you are considering to provide crypto-related services with reference to the MiCA notification procedure of the aforementioned article, you are kindly requested to fill out a questionnaire regarding your plans under MiCA.

You are requested to submit your answers by Friday 26 July 2024.

Please note that:

  • The questionnaire takes between 15 and 30 minutes to complete (16 questions in total);
  • If you answer “no” to question 5 (are you considering to provide crypto-related services, with reference to the MiCA notification procedure), you are not required to complete the other questions;
  • Entities which are not covered by Article 60 of MiCA or which do not consider providing crypto-related services with reference to the MiCA notification procedure are not requested to fill in the questionnaire.
  • Entities that consider providing crypto-related services but which are not covered by the notification procedure of Article 60 of MiCA are invited to contact the CSSF by referring to the instructions contained in the communiqué published by the CSSF in order to initiate a preliminary dialogue.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
