MiCAR compliance
LEXIA assists companies, financial institutions, and startups in aligning with the European MiCAR regulation (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), providing legal, strategic, and operational advice to ensure full compliance with European and Italian crypto-asset regulations.
Our team supports clients in designing and implementing MiCAR-compliant governance, compliance, and risk management frameworks. We assist with the classification of digital assets, preparation of investor disclosures, management of transparency requirements, and the development of internal policies to prevent market abuse and protect investors. We collaborate with competent authorities such as Consob and the Bank of Italy to ensure compliance with Italian laws resulting from the transposition of MiCAR through Legislative Decree No. 129 of September 5, 2024.
We ensure contractual compliance with MiCAR by drafting clauses with critical crypto-asset service providers, including audits, exit plans, and corrective measures. We also support clients in conducting operational tests, including customized penetration testing and ongoing procedure reviews, following the pillars of digital resilience. Finally, we prepare organizations to handle significant incident reporting and voluntary threat intelligence sharing in line with supervisory authority guidelines.
