Article 27 Obligation d’agir de manière honnête, loyale et professionnelle au mieux des intérêts des détenteurs de jetons se référant à un ou des actifs


Summary What does Article 27 of the MiCA regulation say?

This is a short but foundational conduct article that establishes the baseline behavioural standards expected of issuers of asset-referenced tokens.

It sits within the broader framework governing issuers under Title III and complements the more detailed operational and governance requirements found in surrounding articles by setting the overarching ethical tone: issuers must act honestly, fairly, and professionally, and communicate with holders in a clear and non-misleading way.

It also establishes a default principle of equal treatment for holders, with a carve-out where preferential treatment is transparently disclosed upfront.

Important points:

  • Act honestly, fairly, and professionally in all communications with holders and prospective holders of asset-referenced tokens.
  • Act in the best interests of token holders and treat them equally as a default position.
  • Preferential treatment of certain holders is permissible only if it is disclosed in the crypto-asset white paper and, where applicable, marketing communications.

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

    1. Les émetteurs de jetons se référant à un ou des actifs agissent de manière honnête, loyale et professionnelle, et communiquent avec les détenteurs et les détenteurs potentiels de jetons se référant à un ou des actifs de manière loyale, claire et non trompeuse.

    1. Les émetteurs de jetons se référant à un ou des actifs agissent au mieux des intérêts des détenteurs de tels jetons et les traitent sur un pied d’égalité, sauf si un éventuel traitement préférentiel est mentionné dans le livre blanc sur les crypto-actifs et, le cas échéant, dans les communications commerciales.
