The facts
- Who files
- Issuers of ARTs and EMTs subject to own funds requirements report to their competent authority (Guidelines paragraph 10). Annex II says the issuers in scope are issuers of asset-referenced tokens, e-money institutions issuing significant e-money tokens, and, where the competent authority requires it under Article 58(2) MiCAR, e-money institutions issuing non-significant e-money tokens. Where the EBA supervises a significant token, the data go to the EBA (paragraphs 15 and 19). Source
- How often
- Quarterly, reference dates 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December (Guidelines paragraph 18). Source
- Deadline
- 12 May, 11 August, 11 November and 11 February (paragraph 18(b)). For reference date 30 June 2025 the remittance date was 1 September 2025 (paragraph 22). Source
- Format
- xBRL-CSV. The EBA takes these reports only in xBRL-CSV, whatever the reference date (CSV adoption policy of release 4.2). Source
- How it is filed
- Filing routes recorded for the EBA: EUCLID (European Centralised Infrastructure of Data); Pillar 3 data hub (P3DH) submissions. See how firms file with the EBA.
- Status
- In forceListed 'Status: In force' on the 4.2 page with MICA. The final report (paragraph 24) says 'the additional two own funds templates of the Guidelines will be in a separate module'. In the 4.2.1 DPM table layouts this module holds Q 09.01 (S 09.01 - Own funds requirements) and Q 09.02 (S 09.02 - Composition of available own funds CET1). Source
- Legal basis

- Payments and crypto-assets
Line4 Check for EBA reporting runs EBA's own validation rules on a MICA_OF file in your browser, free. Your file never leaves your computer. What it runs, from its published manifest:
- EBA release 4.2: 15 of EBA's 16 active checks (93%).
- EBA release 4.1: 15 of EBA's 16 active checks (93%).
Every EBA rule for MiCA own funds, in plain words
It is not a substitute for the validation the supervisor runs when you submit.
Templates (2)
The tables and forms inside the return. Plain name first, the EBA's code in brackets.
- Own funds requirements (Q 09.01)
- Composition of available own funds cet1 (Q 09.02)
Templates of module MICA_OF in EBA release 4.2, read from the module's entry point in the taxonomy package; parts of a template split into sub-tables (a, b, c) are listed once. Source
Validation rules
5 rules, as counted from the EBA's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source
How they are written: Excel list with one row per rule and module version: an expression column in the EBA's DPM-XL syntax, severity (error or warning), active status and reference-date range. The same rules ship as XBRL Formula assertions in the taxonomy package..
EBA's list applies the active MICA_OF_4.2 rules to reference dates from 2026-03-31 with no end date set.
How they were counted
Distinct rule codes listed for module MICA_OF_4.2 in EBA's validation rules list VR_4.4.phase1_.xlsx ((from 4.0) EBA_Validation rules, latest update 12/10/2026) with IsActive = Active: 5 of 5 listed. 0 of the active rules have severity error; the rest are warnings.
Counts are in the EBA's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
Public data
No published data from this return was found. No publication of this return's data found on the EBA's risk analysis and data pages (checked 2026-11-11). Source
Official documents (14)
The EBA's own files, with the size and SHA-256 fingerprint of each as downloaded on 11 November 2026, so anyone can tell whether a copy is the same version.
