VeChain Achieves Compliance with European Regulations

VeChain has announced that its tokens are compliant with European regulations after receiving confirmation from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). Specifically, VeChain’s VET and VeThor Tokens are now compliant with the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR). This comes after VeChain submitted the VET and VTHO whitepapers to ESMA, which notified the platform of the registration.

According to VeChain, this milestone goes beyond regulatory compliance and transparency. Rather, MiCAR compliance is another step towards mass adoption. With the implementation of the MiCAR framework, VeChain will be able to passport its services and operations across all 27 EU member states. This is because the regulation, which came into effect in June 2023, standardized cryptographic rules for blockchain, which aims to improve market integrity and protect investors.

ESMA, the regulator of MiCAR, published its central registry for digital asset whitepapers last year. The effective date for the full regulation of crypto asset markets was December 30, 2024. VeChain leveraged its framework to seek compliance for VET and VTHO. VeChain now has a strategic advantage that will allow it to introduce its X-2-Earn program to EU users.
