MiCA Recital (95) — preamble
Open the official source (EUR-Lex) →MiCA Recital (95) — preamble (95) It is important to ensure confidence in markets in crypto-assets and the integrity of those markets.
It is therefore necessary to lay down rules to deter market abuse for crypto-assets that are admitted to trading.
However, as issuers of crypto-assets and crypto-asset service providers are very often SMEs, it would be disproportionate to apply all of the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (21) to them.
It is therefore necessary to lay down specific rules prohibiting certain behaviours that are likely to undermine user confidence in markets in crypto-assets and the integrity of those markets, including insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation related to crypto-assets.
Those bespoke rules on market abuse committed in relation to crypto-assets should also be applied in cases where crypto-assets are admitted to trading. 32023R1114
