CSSF Publishes New Regulations Under MiCA

The CSSF has issued new Commission Delegated and Implementing Regulations under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), impacting crypto-asset service providers and issuers of asset-referenced and e-money tokens.

1 min read

The CSSF published new Commission Delegated and Implementing Regulations related to the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) on 22 July 2026. These regulations establish technical standards for preventing market abuse, reporting templates, and cooperation between competent authorities.

The regulations rely on MiCAR (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114), specifically addressing the fees charged by the European Banking Authority to issuers of significant asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens, along with procedural rules for imposing fines on these issuers.

The new regulations apply to crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and issuers of asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and e-money tokens (EMTs). These entities must ensure compliance with the new technical standards outlined in the regulations.

Entities must prepare for compliance by the deadlines set for various dates in 2024 and 2025, with a specific deadline of 20 August 2025 for certain requirements. Immediate attention is required to align with the new standards.

The CSSF will inform the financial sector about the practical implications and procedures resulting from MiCAR, ensuring that entities are aware of their obligations under the new regulations.

French insurance registration for a Moroccan travel marketplace

A Moroccan insurance marketplace proposes to sell travel cover online to French residents visiting Morocco. This composite case concerns a website that collects needs, ranks policies, takes payment and delivers a certificate before departure. May the Moroccan company supply leads or software, must a group intermediary register in France, or must an authorised insurer undertake the risk? The proposed launch below assumes individual consumer policies bought while the policyholder is in France. It does not attribute an existing permission or carrier agreement to any company.

EU AI Act credit scoring for a Kenyan provider's EU pilot

A hypothetical Kenyan AI company wants an EU lender to use its alternative-data creditworthiness score in consumer-loan decisions. The question is whether it can start with a limited pilot before preparing for full deployment. The proposed first use is one bank's unsecured, fixed-term personal-loan product for adult existing customers in one designated EU Member State. The bank would retain the lending decision. Evaluation would begin without customer consequences, in an EU-controlled environment, with no Kenyan access to EU personal data.

France-to-Morocco money transfer licensing and the sender contract

A Moroccan payment institution proposes to let residents of France send euros to relatives’ Moroccan payment accounts. This composite case concerns the authorisation, contracts and settlement arrangements required at each end of that transfer. The question is whether the group should establish its own authorised European business, use a French-authorised remittance principal, or remain a Moroccan payout provider. The recommendation assumes that the Moroccan institution obtains the permissions and arrangements described below before performing the corresponding activities.
