Advancing regulatory transparency across Europe
Under MiCA, utility tokens are not subject to regulatory approval or authorization. Instead, issuers must provide a publicly accessible whitepaper that meets disclosure standards, giving market participants a consistent basis for understanding the token’s design, risks, and intended use. By publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper, IoTeX ensures that partners integrating IOTX across Europe have a clear, harmonized set of rules to follow.
Raullen Chai, CEO and Co-Founder of IoTeX, said the milestone reflects the company’s commitment to responsible innovation.
“MiCA sets a global precedent for digital-asset transparency. Publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper ensures that partners and marketplaces across Europe have a clear, harmonized framework for supporting IOTX. This reinforces IoTeX’s long-term commitment as we bring real-world devices, data, and intelligence onto blockchain infrastructure,”
he said.
Enabling institutional adoption and real-world applications
The MiCA-aligned whitepaper is expected to facilitate IoTeX’s integration with European enterprises, government initiatives, and research programs developing decentralized energy networks, smart-city infrastructure, and AI agents that rely on verifiable, hardware-secured data. By meeting MiCA disclosure requirements, IOTX can now be incorporated into regulated platforms, enabling institutional custody, spot listings, and access for fintech and payment providers.
Jing Sun, Co-Founder of IoTeX, highlighted the strategic importance of Europe for the company.
“Europe leads in digital trust, hardware security, and responsible AI, pillars that deeply align with IoTeX’s mission. By publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper, we can engage more effectively with EU partners building real-world applications on decentralized infrastructure,”
Sun said.
The announcement follows a recent token buyback initiative and new liquidity partnerships, following a temporary price malfunction on Binance that IoTeX attributed to a third-party market maker error rather than a protocol breach.
