Artikel 54 Anlage von im Tausch gegen E-Geld-Token entgegengenommenen Geldbeträgen


Summary What does Article 54 of the MiCA regulation say?

This article sets out specific safeguarding requirements for funds received by issuers of e-money tokens, acting as a supplement to the existing safeguarding obligations under Directive 2009/110/EC (the Electronic Money Directive).

Rather than replacing those baseline rules, it layers additional conditions on top of them, specifying how the funds must be split and managed once received in exchange for e-money tokens.

Important points:

  • Issuers of e-money tokens must deposit at least 30% of funds received into separate accounts held at credit institutions.
  • The remaining funds must be invested in highly liquid financial instruments with minimal market, credit, and concentration risk, consistent with the investment rules in Article 38(1) of this Regulation.
  • Those invested funds must be denominated in the same official currency as the one referenced by the e-money token.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Geldbeträge, die Emittenten von E-Geld-Token im Tausch gegen E-Geld-Token entgegengenommen haben und die gemäß Artikel 7 Absatz 1 der Richtlinie 2009/110/EG besichert sind, müssen das Folgende einhalten:

  1. Mindestens 30 % der erhaltenen Geldbeträge sind stets auf gesonderten Konten bei Kreditinstituten zu hinterlegen.

  2. Die übrigen Geldbeträge müssen in sichere Aktiva mit niedrigem Risiko investiert werden, die gemäß Artikel 38 Absatz 1 dieser Verordnung als hochliquide Finanzinstrumente mit minimalem Marktrisiko, Kreditrisiko und Konzentrationsrisiko gelten, die auf dieselbe amtliche Währung lauten, auf die sich der E-Geld-Token bezieht.
