This register lists crypto-assets for which a whitepaper has been notified to a National Competent Authority (NCA) under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), excluding EMTs and ARTs.
These assets fall into MiCA’s category of “other crypto-assets”, meaning they are neither e-money tokens (EMTs) nor asset-referenced tokens (ARTs), but are still subject to MiCA’s disclosure and conduct requirements.
What does inclusion in this register mean?
Under MiCA, issuers of certain crypto-assets must notify a compliant whitepaper to their home NCA before offering the asset to the public or seeking admission to trading in the EU.
Inclusion in this register indicates that:
- A MiCA Whitepaper has been notified to an EU NCA
- The asset falls outside the EMT and ART categories
- The notification has been reflected in official regulatory data sources
It does not imply regulatory approval of the asset, endorsement by authorities, or authorisation of any service provider offering it.
What this register does not cover
This register does not include:
- EMTs or ARTs (covered separately in the (MiCA Register - EMT/ARTs)
- Crypto-asset service providers, or CASPs (covered separately in the MiCA Register - CASPs)
- Tokens exempt from MiCA Whitepaper requirements
- Assets offered exclusively outside the EU
What information is shown
Where available, the register includes:
- Token name and symbol
- The notified whitepaper must include ‘project name’, ‘token name’, and ‘abbreviation/symbol’.
- In practice, each notifier uses their own nomenclature; the Register approximates these names to make assets easier to locate.
- Notifier & CASP (where applicable)
- MiCA does not require that the issuer of the token be the one to notify the whitepaper to the NCA. In many cases, a CASP notifies the whitepaper to the authorities on behalf of the issuer, and where known is shown here.
- In some cases where no clear issuer is available (such as Bitcoin) or where a project has not attempted to notify a whitepaper, a third-party has notified a whitepaper on their behalf. Thus, the ‘notifier’ should not be assumed to be the issuer in all cases.
- Notifying jurisdiction (NCA)
- Whitepaper availability & Whitepaper type
- ‘WP URL’ is always the link provided by ESMA, and when unavailable at that address is indicated. In cases where a whitepaper could be found, but not at that URL, the alternative address is provided. When the whitepaper appears to be MiCA Standard, it is marked as such; ‘Other’ simply means that it does not, at first glance, appear to be a MiCA Standard whitepaper.
- Date of last whitepaper update
- Although ESMA refers to this as the date of last update, the batch dating suggests that this is not the date that the whitepaper was updated, but rather when the NCA updated their list.
The data is compiled from official regulatory disclosures and is updated as new notifications become publicly available.
Important note
MiCA Whitepaper notification is a disclosure requirement, not a licensing regime.
Market participants should conduct their own legal, technical, and commercial due diligence before relying on any information presented here.
