Artikel 1 Tillämpningsområde

Summary What does Article 1 of this Regulation say?

This is the scope article, defining which entities fall under the Regulation.

It covers issuers of asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens, with the primary focus on those deemed "significant." However, the scope can extend beyond significant issuers to capture non-significant ones where a competent authority specifically requires it under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, meaning the reach of this Regulation is not fixed and can be expanded on a case-by-case basis.

Important points:

Issuers of significant asset-referenced tokens and electronic money institutions issuing significant e-money tokens are automatically subject to this Regulation.
Issuers of non-significant tokens can also be brought into scope where a competent authority requires it under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
Competent authorities therefore play a gatekeeping role in determining whether non-significant issuers are subject to these rules.
