📜 The MiCA Crypto Alliance is pleased to have prepared the $SBP MiCA White Paper in collaboration with Sustainable Bitcoin Protocol
$SBP is a crypto-asset designed as a tokenised environmental commodity linked to verified clean energy use in Bitcoin mining. The white paper supports admission to trading in Ireland and has been notified to the Central Bank of Ireland, with intended listing on approved venues and platforms.
Key elements include:
✔️ Classification as a crypto-asset other than an asset-referenced token or e-money token (OTHR) under MiCA Title II
✔️ Tokenised environmental commodity representing verified renewable energy use or financing associated with Bitcoin mining
✔️ Supply linked to verified environmental impact through clean-energy mining and energy attribute certificates, aligned with Bitcoin’s 21 million supply reference
✔️ ERC-20 implementation on Base, enabling transferability across wallets, decentralised applications, and trading venues
✔️ Sustainability disclosures aligned with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/422 using the Alliance’s standardised methodology
As part of this collaboration, @SustainableBTC has joined the MiCA Crypto Alliance as a member.

🏦 Many financial institutions report being ready for MiCA. But what does “ready” actually mean in practice?
As part of the Future of Banking & Digital Assets roundtable, one of the discussions will focus on the gap between perceived readiness and operational reality.
We are pleased to welcome Miguel Vaz, Managing Director at Hauck Aufhäuser Digital Custody, as a panellist for this session:
“We All Said We're Ready for MiCA… But Are We Really?”
Miguel will contribute a custody-specific perspective on operational readiness.
If your institution would like to be considered for the closed-door discussion and presentation of the report findings, you may still register your interest.

stETH has hundreds of thousands of holders across Europe, yet there is still no clear answer as to which regulatory regime applies to it.
This reflects a gap in the regulatory framework. Liquid staking tokens were not contemplated when MiCA, MiFID II, or AIFMD were drafted, and they stress-test the boundaries of all three simultaneously.
The MiCA Crypto Alliance has published an interim report that sets out a structured and auditable approach to this classification challenge.
👉 The baseline outcome for most decentralised LSTs is MiCA “other crypto-assets”, rather than ART classification, financial instruments, or AIF units. However, this can change depending on how the token is designed.
The same staked ETH exposure can lead to different regulatory outcomes depending on how it is structured. Protocol-native designs such as stETH and rETH are more likely to fall within the MiCA OTH category, while custodial wrappers such as cbETH may trigger closer analysis under MiFID II or AIFMD. The determining factors are control over minting, redemption, yield, and governance.
The report also clarifies that MiCA and MiFID II should be understood as parallel regimes rather than a hierarchy. It further notes convergence with recent developments in the United States, where the SEC and CFTC have adopted a similarly design-based approach to classification.
The report is open for industry feedback. Participation in this process is open to members of the Alliance. Organisations that want to contribute to this work can join the Alliance.

1/ Today, the @WhiteHouse’s Council of Economic Advisers (“CEA”) released a highly-anticipated report on stablecoin yield.
The conclusion aligns with what we've been saying for months: a yield prohibition would do very little to protect bank lending and would only hurt consumers. 👇
