Market Abuse (MiCA Title VI)

Market Abuse Regulation (MAR)

EU Regulation 596/2014 covering market abuse in financial instruments — analogous regime to MiCA Title VI for crypto.

Definition

MAR (Regulation (EU) No 596/2014) is the EU framework for market abuse in financial instruments. MiCA Title VI applies a parallel framework to crypto-asset markets, drawing extensively on MAR's approach. For crypto-assets that are MiFID II financial instruments, MAR applies; for MiCA-scope crypto-assets, MiCA Title VI applies.
