MiCA Classification:Genuinely Unresolved

The classification of wrapped Bitcoin products under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation remains genuinely unresolved. ESMA has not issued definitive guidance on whether products like WBTC and cbBTC qualify as Asset-Referenced Tokens (ARTs).

Single Asset Reference

Wrapped BTC products reference only Bitcoin, not "one or several" assets as required for ART classification.

National Variations

Member states may interpret classification differently pending ESMA guidance expected Q2 2026.
