The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched a consultation on draft Guidelines on reporting requirements to assist competent authorities and the EBA in performing their duties under the Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (MiCAR). These Guidelines should ensure that Competent Authorities have sufficient comparable information to supervise compliance of issuers with MiCAR requirements and provide the EBA with the information necessary to conduct the significance assessment under MiCAR. The consultation runs until 15 October 2024.

Issuers of asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and certain e-money tokens (EMTs) are required to report specific information defined under Article 22 MiCAR. These data provisions by the issuers are not enough to allow competent authorities and the EBA to discharge their supervisory tasks and the significance assessment tasks under MiCAR.

The EBA has identified these data gaps and is consulting on draft Guidelines specifying common templates and instructions for issuers to provide the EBA and competent authorities with the necessary information to cover these gaps. In addition, these Guidelines include common templates and instructions that issuers should use to collect the data they need from the relevant Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs).
