Article 98 Coopération avec d’autres autorités

This brief but practically important article addresses a coordination gap that arises when regulated entities under MiCA also operate in other regulated domains.

It places an obligation on competent authorities to cooperate with whichever other supervisory bodies — domestic, EU-level, or from third countries — are responsible for overseeing those non-MiCA activities.

The scope of this cross-authority cooperation is notably broad, explicitly including tax authorities and supervisors from outside the EU.

Important points:

• Competent authorities are required to cooperate with other relevant supervisory bodies when a MiCA-regulated entity also engages in activities falling outside this Regulation.
• The cooperation obligation extends to tax authorities and relevant supervisory authorities of third countries.
• This article applies across all major MiCA-regulated actors: offerors, persons seeking admission to trading, issuers of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens, and crypto-asset service providers.
