Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I care about MiCA sustainability compliance?
Website disclosure of sustainability-related indicators for serviced cryptoassets is an all CASP requirement, as detailed in MiCA Article 66. An Article 66 infringement by a legal person carries a potential maximum administrative fine of at least €5 million euros, 5% of total annual turnover, or twice the amount of profits gained/losses avoided.
How do I know if I am caught in MiCA CASP sustainability indicator requirements?
As a general note, MiCA sustainability requirements are quite broad and apply not only to crypto-native service providers, but also to any qualifying cryptoasset service provider that offers MiCA qualifying products and services relating to MiCA qualifying cryptoassets. This may include a wide range of financial services providers who supply cryptoasset-related services as defined in MiCA Art. 3 (1) (16), including custody, order execution on behalf of clients, transmission of orders, advice on crypto-assets, transfer services and portfolio management. Equally, the provision may apply to businesses even where they are not obliged to seek a separate MiCA authorisation.
What are the MiCA sustainability requirements and how should they be addressed?
Specific CASP MiCA sustainability requirements depend on the nature of the cryptoasset service being provided as well as the energy consumption of cryptoassets offered. Start by reading our MiCA sustainability overview guide. CASPs must comply with their website disclosure requirements from 30 December 2024.
