# Article 2 — Indicators for assessing significance on international scale

**Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1506 · binding · OJ L, 2024/1506, 30.5.2024 · dated 22 Feb 2024 [in force]**

*In force · Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1506, OJ L, 2024/1506, 30.5.2024 · Checked against EUR-Lex on 20 Oct 2026 · [Official source](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2024/1506/oj/eng)*

1. <a id="art-2-p-1"></a>When assessing whether the criterion set out in [Article 43(1)](../../articles/43.md), point (e), of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 is fulfilled, the EBA shall assess all of the following core indicators:\
   <a id="art-2-p-1-a"></a>a) the significance of the market share of value of cross-border transactions in asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens into the Union and from the Union;\
   <a id="art-2-p-1-b"></a>b) the significance of the estimated market share of value of cross-border transactions in asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens into the Union and from the Union that are associated to uses as a means of exchange;\
   <a id="art-2-p-1-c"></a>c) the degree of market capitalisation on an international scale of an asset-referenced token or an e-money token on the last calendar day of the relevant period;\
   <a id="art-2-p-1-d"></a>d) the degree of market capitalisation on an international scale of all asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens issued by the issuer or issuers concerned on the last calendar day of the relevant period.\\
2.  <a id="art-2-p-2"></a>For the purposes of paragraph 1, point (a), the EBA shall consider all of the following sub-indicators:\
    <a id="art-2-p-2-a"></a>a) the market share of value of cross-border transactions in asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens into the Union (inflow transactions);\
    <a id="art-2-p-2-b"></a>b) the market share of value of cross-border transactions in asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens from the Union (outflow transactions).\\

    The EBA shall calculate the sub-indicator referred to in the first subparagraph, point (a), in accordance with the following formula:

    the total aggregate value of transactions of which the payer is outside the Union and the payee is inside the Union in a given asset-referenced token or e-money token during the relevant period

    the total aggregate value of transactions of which the payer is outside the Union and the payee is inside the Union in all asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens during the relevant period

    The EBA shall calculate the sub-indicator referred to in the first subparagraph, point (b), in accordance with the following formula:

    the total aggregate value of transactions of which the payer is within the Union and the payee is outside the Union in a given asset-referenced token or e-money token during the relevant period

    the total aggregate value of transactions of which the payer is within the Union and the payee is outside the Union in all asset-referrenced tokens and e-money tokens during the relevant period
3.  <a id="art-2-p-3"></a>The EBA shall calculate the estimated market share referred to in paragraph 1, point (b), in accordance with the following formula:

    the estimated total aggregate value of cross-border transactions in a given asset-referenced token or e-money token into the Union and from the Union that are associated to its uses as a means of exchange during the relevant period

    the estimated total aggregate value of cross-border transactions in all asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens into the Union and from the Union that are associated to their uses as a means of exchange during the relevant period)
