The European Banking Authority (EBA) published its final Guidelines on the orderly redemption of token holders in case of crisis of the issuer. The Guidelines, which are addressed to competent authorities designated under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), cover issuers of asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and of e-money tokens (EMTs).
The Guidelines specify the content of the redemption plan to be developed by issuers of ARTs and EMTs in going concern, including the liquidation strategies of the reserve of assets, the mapping of critical activities, the content of the redemption claims, the main steps of the redemption process, and the elements that may lead to the trigger of the plan by the competent authority.
Considering the feedback received during the public consultation, a few targeted amendments have been made to streamline the wording and provide further clarity on some specific aspects. For instance, some clarifications allow for flexibility so that the guidance addressed to issuers of ARTs relating to the liquidation of the reserve of assets can be used, to some extent, also by issuers of EMTs.
