Recital 6

(6)As regards the assessment of the criterion of significance of the interconnectedness of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens or their issuers with the financial system, as referred to in Article 43(1), point (f), of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, the indicators should capture direct and indirect interconnectedness of the tokens and their issuers with the financial system. Both a direct and an indirect interconnectedness could result in contagion effects in both directions, that is from issuers of asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens to traditional financial system and vice versa. For that purpose, it is necessary to set out the core indicators of the significance of the share of non-deposit reserve assets that are financial instruments issued by financial institutions, and of the significance of the share of the issuer’s asset holdings relative to the total supply of specific financial instruments. In addition, the following ancillary indicators should be set out: the ownership structure of the issuer of an asset-referenced token or an e-money token, the concentration of custody of the issuer’s reserve assets, and portfolio overlap of the issuer’s reserve assets with the reserve assets of issuers of other asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens.
