If none of the exclusions referred to in paragraph 22 apply, competent authorities and other persons to whom these Guidelines are addressed should assess the characteristics of the crypto-assets to determine if the crypto-asset is an EMT, ART or other crypto-asset under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 and should take into account the following:

  • a. Does the crypto-asset purport to maintain a stable value by referencing only the value of a single official currency? If so, it is to be classified as an EMT pursuant to Title IV of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
  • b. If the crypto-asset does not purport to maintain a stable value by referencing only the value of a single official currency, does it purport to maintain a stable value by reference to another value or right (or combination thereof), including one or more official currencies? If so, it is to be classified as an ART pursuant to Title III of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
  • c. If the crypto-asset does not purport to maintain a stable value by referencing another value or right (and is therefore not an ART or EMT) it is to be classified as a crypto-asset pursuant to Title II of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114.
