MiCA Recital (16) — preamble

Open the official source (EUR-Lex) →

MiCA Recital (16) — preamble (16) Any legislative act adopted in the field of crypto-assets should be specific and future-proof, be able to keep pace with innovation and technological developments and be founded on an incentive-based approach.

The terms ‘crypto-assets’ and ‘distributed ledger technology’ should therefore be defined as widely as possible to capture all types of cryptoassets that currently fall outside the scope of Union legislative acts on financial services.

Any legislative act adopted in the field of crypto-assets should also contribute to the objective of combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

For that reason, entities offering services falling within the scope of this Regulation should also comply with applicable anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing rules of the Union, which integrate international standards.
