Summary

Chapter 8 discusses MiCA’s rules on crypto custody. After examining international developments (Section 8.2), we discuss the scope of MiCA’s custody rules (Section 8.3) prior to analysing the impact of MiCA’s general requirements for CASPs (e.g., fiduciary duties and safekeeping rules) (Section 8.4) and discussing Article 75 MiCA on crypto custody in-depth (Section 8.5). We go on by exploring how crypto custodians regulated by MiCA interact with other regulated intermediaries that safekeep assets either as their main business or as side services to supplement their brokerage or asset management services (Section 8.6), and then, we conclude (Section 8.7).
