Finoa Partners with Crypto Risk Metrics to Simplify MiCAR White Paper Compliance
- Simplified Compliance: direct access to MiCAR white paper expertise
- Market Readiness: prepares projects for European exchange listings
- Flexible Services: from ESG guidance to full “white glove” service, including ESMA-registry updates
Frankfurt am Main, June 17th, 2025. Finoa, a leading European regulated digital asset custodian, today announced a partnership with Crypto Risk Metrics to offer clients expert services for MiCAR-compliant white papers. This addresses new EU regulations which have been in force since December 30th, 2024.
Projects offering crypto-assets in the EU must now meet strict white paper standards to gain access to European exchanges. Non-compliance may prevent market access to over 450 million consumers across the EU.
The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) mandates specific white paper requirements for listing on European exchanges. The collaboration* between Finoa and Crypto Risk Metrics aims to simplify the process for institutional and project clients.
“Partnering with Crypto Risk Metrics allows us to offer clients a crucial piece for access to EU customers,” said Christopher May, Co-Founder of Finoa. “Meeting MiCAR’s white paper requirement is essential for every project.”
Tim Zölitz, CEO of Crypto Risk Metrics, stated, “Finoa is involved early with token projects often in testnet phases. Our service helps them meet regulatory requirements for EU listings right when their token goes live – enhancing consumer protection.”
The services will range from targeted assistance (e.g., ESG disclosures) to comprehensive “white glove” support, including updates to the ESMA registry.
*The white paper service is provided by Crypto Risk Metrics and is an optional service for clients choosing Finoa as their custodian. It consists of different packages and can range from help regarding the ESG part only to a complete „white glove” service, including monitoring of material updates and the corresponding updates in the ESMA registry.
