Art. 110a Accessibility of information on the European single access point | MiCA regulation | MiCA

This article connects MiCA to the broader EU transparency infrastructure by integrating crypto-asset disclosures into the European Single Access Point (ESAP), established under Regulation (EU) 2023/2859.

From 10 January 2030, issuers, offerors and persons seeking admission to trading must channel their inside information disclosures (as required under Article 88(1)) to a designated national collection body so that information becomes centrally accessible on ESAP.

The article also extends ESAP accessibility to the register information already held under Articles 109 and 110, with ESMA acting as the collection body for that data.

Detailed formatting and metadata requirements accompany both obligations, and ESMA is tasked with developing the relevant implementing technical standards.

Important points:

From 10 January 2030, issuers, offerors and persons seeking admission to trading must submit their public inside information disclosures simultaneously to a national collection body for publication on ESAP, in a data extractable or machine-readable format and accompanied by specified metadata, including a legal entity identifier which they must obtain.
Member States are required to designate at least one national collection body and notify ESMA by 9 January 2030.
ESMA acts as the collection body for ESAP publication of the register information under Articles 109 and 110, and is mandated to develop implementing technical standards governing metadata requirements, data structure and machine-readable formats.

1. From 10 January 2030, when making public any information referred to in Article 88(1) of this Regulation, the issuer, offeror or person seeking admission to trading shall submit that information at the same time to the relevant collection body referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article for the purpose of making it accessible on the European single access point (ESAP) established under Regulation (EU) 2023/2859 of the European Parliament and of the Council(²⁰).
2. That information shall comply with the following requirements:
  1. be submitted in a data extractable format as defined in Article 2, point (3), of Regulation (EU) 2023/2859 or, where required by Union law, in a machine-readable format, as defined in Article 2, point (4), of that Regulation;
  2. be accompanied by the following metadata:

1. From 10 January 2030, the information referred to in Articles 109 and 110 of this Regulation shall be made accessible on ESAP. For that purpose, the collection body as defined in Article 2, point (2), of Regulation (EU) 2023/2859 shall be ESMA.
2. That information shall comply with the following requirements:
  1. be submitted in a machine-readable format as defined in Article 2, point (3), of Regulation (EU) 2023/2859;

  1. any other metadata to accompany the information;
  2. the structuring of data in the information;
  3. for which information a machine-readable format is required and, in such cases, which machine-readable format is to be used.
2. For the purposes of point (c), ESMA shall assess the advantages and disadvantages of different machine-readable formats and conduct appropriate field tests.
