MiCA Recital (92) — preamble
Open the official source (EUR-Lex) →MiCA Recital (92) — preamble (92) The activity of traditional electronic money distributors, namely, that of distributing electronic money on behalf of issuers, would amount to the activity of placing of crypto-assets for the purposes of this Regulation.
However, natural or legal persons allowed to distribute electronic money under Directive 2009/110/EC should also be able to distribute emoney tokens on behalf of issuers of e-money tokens without being required to obtain prior authorisation under this Regulation to provide crypto-asset services.
Such distributors should, therefore, be exempt from the requirement to seek authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider for the activity of the placing of crypto-assets.
