Artikel 1 Definitioner

Summary What does Article 1 of the RTS on CASP conflicts of interest say?

This is the definitions article, establishing the precise meaning of three key terms used throughout the regulation.

It anchors the regulation to the broader MiCA framework (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) and existing EU company law, ensuring consistent interpretation of the concepts that underpin the conflict of interest rules that follow.

Important points:

A "connected person" is defined by reference to Article 72(1) of MiCA, meaning this regulation operates as a downstream measure directly supplementing that parent obligation.
"Remuneration" is defined broadly to capture any form of payment or benefit, financial or non-financial, direct or indirect, made by crypto-asset service providers to clients in connection with crypto-asset services.
"Group" takes its meaning from Directive 2013/34/EU, anchoring the regulation to established EU company law definitions.
