MiCAR
The EU rules behind the white paper
MiCAR is Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, the EU rulebook for crypto-asset offers, trading admission, disclosures, service providers, and market integrity.
For crypto-assets that are not exempt, MiCAR requires a white paper before an offer to the public or admission to trading in the European Union.
The white paper is notified through the relevant National Competent Authority process.
ESMA makes white paper information available through its MiCAR register.
Marketing and other public materials must stay consistent with the white paper.
