Artikel 9 Godkännande av vitboken om kryptotillgångar


Summary What does Article 9 of the RTS on crypto-asset white paper approval say?

This article brings the approval process to a close by setting out the final decision stage.

Building directly on the process established in Articles 7 and 8, it establishes the deadline by which the competent authority must issue its final decision on the crypto-asset white paper, and sets a clear condition on publication: the white paper cannot go live until that approval has been granted.

Important points:

  • Competent authorities are required to issue a final decision within 10 working days, triggered either by receipt of a revised white paper or by the conclusion of the ECB/central bank opinion stage.
  • Do not publish the crypto-asset white paper until formal approval has been received from the competent authority of the home Member State.
  • The 10-working-day deadline applies in both scenarios: where changes to the white paper were requested and where no changes were requested.

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