MiCAR: Non-Fungible Tokens

AbstractThe Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (MiCAR) establishes a regulatory framework for crypto-assets in the EU but does not apply to crypto-assets that are unique and not fungible with other crypto-assets (NFTs). However, MiCAR takes a substance-over-form approach, meaning that assets labeled as NFTs may still fall under its regulations if they exhibit characteristics of fungibility or interdependence in value. This monograph provides a structured analysis of MiCAR’s stance on NFTs, examining the conditions under which NFTs remain exempt and highlighting key considerations for compliance and legal classification.
