Article 30 Ongoing information to holders of asset-referenced tokens
Summary What does Article 30 of the MiCA regulation say?
This article sets out the ongoing public disclosure obligations for issuers of asset-referenced tokens, focusing on transparency around the token supply, the backing reserve, and material events.
It connects directly to Article 36, which governs the reserve of assets itself, making Article 30 the transparency layer that sits on top of those reserve requirements.
The article also operates without prejudice to Article 88, which deals with inside information disclosure, meaning the two regimes run in parallel.
Important points:
- Issuers of asset-referenced tokens must publicly disclose on their website the amount of tokens in circulation and the value and composition of the reserve of assets, updated at least monthly.
- Publish both a summary and the full, unredacted audit report of the reserve of assets on your website as soon as possible after it becomes available.
- Disclose any event that has or is likely to have a significant effect on the value of the tokens or the reserve of assets as soon as possible.

Relevant recitals
Recital 48 Ongoing transparency on supply and reserves
In addition to the information provided in the crypto-asset white paper, issuers of asset-referenced tokens should also provide holders of such tokens with information on an ongoing basis. In particular, they should disclose on their website the amount of asset-referenced tokens in circulation and the value and composition of the reserve assets. Issuers of asset-referenced tokens should also disclose any event that has or is likely to have a significant impact on the value of the asset-referenced tokens or on the reserve assets, irrespective of whether such crypto-assets are admitted to trading.
