Recital 8

(8)The core indicator on the significance of the share of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens issuer’s asset holdings relative to the total supply of the specific financial instruments, including units of an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities and sovereign bonds, should capture indirect interconnections between, on the one hand, issuers of asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens and, on the other hand, the financial system. Such indirect connections could affect the traditional financial system, in particular where the issuer of an asset-referenced token or an e-money token is forced to fire sell its asset holdings because of financial distress. That sell-off could drive down the value of those assets and affect financial institutions indirectly via a decrease of the value of the assets those financial institutions hold.
