The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a consultation on the Guidelines for the plans to orderly redeem asset-referenced or e-money tokens in the event that the issuer fails to fulfil its obligations under the Markets in Crypto assets Regulation (MiCAR).
The Guidelines specify the content of the redemption plan, the timeframe for review and the triggers for its implementation. The Guidelines are addressed to issuers of asset-referenced tokens (ART) and of e-money tokens (EMT), and to competent authorities under MiCAR. The consultation run until 10 June 2024.
In particular, the draft Guidelines:
- clarify the main principles governing the redemption plan, such as the equitable treatment of token holders, and describe the main steps for the orderly and timely implementation of the plan, including the communication plan, the content of the redemption claims and the distribution plan;
- cover the case of pooled issuance, where the same token is issued by multiple issuers; and
- outline the triggers for the activation of the plan by the competent authority and the cooperation with the prudential and resolution authorities.
