IoTeX is Now Fully MiCA Compliant, Opening the Door to EU-Wide Adoption

For years, one of the biggest challenges facing blockchain-based infrastructure in Europe has been regulatory clarity.

Different rules in different countries, different interpretations by different regulators, etc.

And for exchanges, enterprises, and institutions, a simple question with no simple answer: Is this token actually safe to support across the EU?

That is exactly the problem MiCA was designed to solve.

This week, IoTeX took a concrete step into that new reality by publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper for IOTX, its native token.

IoTeX now has the regulatory disclosures in place for IOTX to be supported consistently across Europe under a single framework.

In a market where many projects are still avoiding regulation altogether, that is a meaningful signal.

First, What Is MiCA and Why Should Anyone Care?

MiCA, short for Markets in Crypto-Assets, is the European Union’s first unified, binding law for digital assets. Instead of 27 different national approaches, MiCA establishes one shared rulebook for how crypto assets and crypto service providers operate across the EU and EEA.

For everyday users, MiCA is about clarity and protection.For exchanges and institutions, it is about legal certainty.

For projects building real-world systems, it is about whether their technology can actually be deployed at scale.

A critical detail is how MiCA treats utility tokens like $IOTX.

Utility tokens do not require regulatory approval, licensing, or authorization. Instead, issuers must publish a standardized whitepaper that clearly explains how the token works, what it is used for, what risks exist, and how the system is governed. That disclosure becomes the legal foundation regulated platforms rely on to support a token across the entire EU.

In other words, MiCA standardizes transparency.

Why IoTeX Publishing a MiCA-Compliant Whitepaper Is a Big Deal

Most crypto projects talk about global adoption. Far fewer do the work required to operate inside regulated markets.

By publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper for IOTX, IoTeX becomes one of the few blockchain infrastructure projects with EU-wide regulatory disclosures in place. That gives enterprises, exchanges, custodians, and partners a clear foundation to support IOTX across Europe under a consistent set of rules.

This matters especially because IoTeX is not focused on speculative use cases. Its core mission sits at the intersection of real-world infrastructure, machine networks, and AI systems. These are areas where regulation is not optional. Energy systems, mobility networks, hardware-based data, and AI agents all require predictable governance and transparent incentives.

Raullen Chai, CEO and Co-Founder of IoTeX, put it plainly:

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 to responsible innovation as we bring real-world devices, data, and intelligence onto blockchain infrastructure.

With these disclosures in place, regulated platforms across the EU can now evaluate IOTX based on a shared legal standard rather than fragmented national rules.

Why Europe Matters for the Machine Economy

Europe has become a global leader in areas that align closely with IoTeX’s work. These include digital trust, hardware security, responsible AI, and public-private infrastructure initiatives.

Over the past six years, IoTeX has advanced decentralized machine networks, secure data oracles, and verifiable AI systems.That includes decentralized device identity, secure data pipelines, and incentive mechanisms for physical infrastructure. Aligning IOTX with MiCA makes it significantly easier to work with European partners developing:

• Decentralized energy and grid coordination networks
• Smart city and mobility infrastructure
• AI agents that rely on trusted, real-world data
• Device identity and hardware-secured data systems
• DePIN financing and sustainable network incentives

Jing Sun, Co-Founder of IoTeX, highlighted why this alignment matters:

Europe leads in digital trust, hardware security, and responsible AI. These pillars deeply align with IoTeX’s mission. Publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper allows us to engage more effectively with EU partners building real-world applications on decentralized infrastructure.

What This Enables Next

With MiCA disclosures completed, IoTeX is now working with regulated exchanges, custodians, and institutional partners that are preparing to support IOTX within their compliance frameworks. That includes:

• Listings on MiCA-regulated trading platforms
• Institutional custody solutions
• Integration with fintech and payment providers
• Broader EU retail access under unified consumer rules
• Support for regulated RWA, energy, and IoT-based incentive platforms

For institutions, clarity is often the gating factor. By meeting MiCA’s disclosure standards, IoTeX removes a major barrier to participation.

A Quiet but Important Signal

MiCA does not make headlines the way new product launches do. But it is quietly reshaping how crypto enters the real economy.

IoTeX publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper signals something important: this is infrastructure built for regulated, real-world use for enterprises. As Europe moves forward with a unified digital-asset framework, IoTeX is positioning itself to be part of that future rather than working around it.
