Settlement in e-money tokens
Question
Should ‘e-money tokens’ under the DLTR be interpreted under the MiCA definition of ‘e-money tokens’?

Could settlement in e-money tokens be used by DLT MI operators even before MICA starts applying?

Does the issuer of the e-money tokens have to be authorised under EMD? Is it correct that a DLT SS/TSS operator does not need an authorisation as a credit institution or payment services institution if it uses e-money tokens for cash settlement that are issued by a duly authorised institution?

Would e-money tokens used for settlement on a DLT market infrastructure be allowed to be issued on a distributed ledger other than that used by the DLT market infrastructure?
Subject Matter
Operation of DLT TSS
Question
Should an entity that applies for a permission to operate a DLT TSS provide both the DLT MTF and DLT SS services? Under which circumstances can an entity apply for the permission to operate a DLT MTF, without the need to operate a DLT TSS? Who can perform the settlement of transactions in DLT financial instruments, together with the initial recording of DLT financial instruments or the safekeeping services in relation to DLT financial instruments, in case an entity applies for the permission to operate a DLT MTF and not a DLT TSS?
