JID=EC denotes the supra-national European Union / European Commission regulatory level (distinct from individual Member-State transpositions). Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA) establishes a harmonised EU-wide licensing regime for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). The Article 143 grandfathering/transitional regime, which allowed pre-MiCA nationally-authorised firms to keep operating, expired on 1 July 2026; unauthorised CASPs are now in breach of EU law and must wind down.

MiCA distinguishes three categories of crypto-asset: electronic money tokens (EMTs), asset-referenced tokens (ARTs), and other crypto-assets (including utility tokens). Unique, non-fungible NFTs are generally excluded from scope unless issued as part of a fungible series or collection. EBA runs a formal procedure to designate 'significant' ARTs/EMTs subject to enhanced (EBA-led) prudential supervision.

MiCA does not create a bespoke licensing regime for DeFi protocols, staking-as-a-service, or crypto lending/borrowing that operate without an issuer or CASP. EBA and ESMA's Article 142 MiCAR joint report analysed DeFi adoption, staking business models and associated risks (ICT, ML/TF, consumer protection) but made no policy recommendations, leaving the appropriate regulatory treatment of these activities an open question pending the Commission's ongoing MiCA review.

MiCA Titles III (ARTs) and IV (EMTs) impose issuance authorisation, reserve-of-assets, redemption-right, disclosure (white paper) and 'significant token' designation requirements on stablecoin issuers, supervised jointly by the EBA (for significant ARTs/EMTs) and national competent authorities. The European Commission opened a 2026 consultation reviewing whether MiCA needs updating for multi-jurisdictional stablecoin issuance, reserve treatment and competitiveness versus frameworks such as the US GENIUS Act.

MiCA imposes fair/clear/non-misleading marketing-communication duties (Arts 29, 66), pre-publication white-paper requirements before marketing, complaint-handling and custody-segregation obligations on issuers and CASPs. ESMA's 2025 non-binding knowledge-and-competence guidelines set staff-suitability expectations, and the ESAs jointly warn consumers that legal protections may be limited depending on the crypto-asset/provider involved. Strict reverse-solicitation limits restrict non-EU ('third-country') firms from marketing into the EU without a MiCA licence.

Council Directive (EU) 2023/2226 (DAC8) extends the EU's mandatory automatic exchange-of-information framework to crypto-asset service providers, applying from 1 January 2026 and requiring collection/reporting of user tax IDs and transaction data to national tax authorities, aligned with the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). DAC8 is a cross-border reporting/administrative-cooperation regime; it does not itself harmonise substantive capital-gains, income-tax or VAT treatment of crypto-assets, which remains predominantly Member-State competence.

Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 (the 'Transfer of Funds/Crypto-assets Regulation') extends FATF Travel Rule information requirements to crypto-asset transfers where at least one CASP is EU-established, and imposes internal-control obligations to implement restrictive/sanctions measures. The EBA's Travel Rule Guidelines specify the originator/beneficiary data CASPs must collect and transmit. (AML/CFT supervisory-scope material connected to these transfers is captured here only as disambiguation context; substantive AML/CFT claims are out of scope for this crypto baseline, which subscribes to the FIM aml_ctf module.)

Provenance and declared absence

Disclosure model: module cards load OPEN; standing positions render in full; sub-briefs and jurisdiction briefs load as a clamped teaser with an explicit “read full” control carrying the true word count; earlier updates stay collapsed behind a counted summary. No text is hidden without disclosing how much of it there is.

Sentinel-fed modules receive no special rendering treatment. sentinel_feed is an attribution chip only: it does not suppress content, does not generate an absence reason code, and does not exclude the module from any count, filter, search index or export on this page.

Family taxonomy is renderer-level presentation config, not a JID field. Colour is always duplicated in text and is never the sole carrier of meaning.

Suppressed by doctrine: derived risk score; per-module RAG traffic light; derived_scores = {}.

Band honesty: uncertainty bands are computed against a frozen build clock of 2026-08-17. A year-precision row is never promoted into a tighter band.

Orphan deltas: 0 cycle_delta row(s) target non-module objects and are listed in the rail rather than attached to a card.

Envelope: baseline resolved at jurisdiction_json.baseline; 7 module(s), 39 finding(s), 23 source(s) in the cumulative register.
