Two years after MiCAR's December 2024 implementation, regulatory ambiguity persists over crypto-assets with no identifiable issuer (Bitcoin, decentralised protocols, meme coins). The European Commission's Q&A 2552 ruled no whitepaper obligation exists for such assets, but leaves unclear which obligations still bind service providers, creating a compliance and liability gap.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you operate a crypto trading platform in Europe listing Bitcoin or decentralised tokens, the Commission just told you that you don't have to publish a whitepaper for them—but didn't tell you what you *do* have to do instead. That gap is where enforcement action lives.
