of liquidity risk over a set of time horizons appropriately reflecting that risk.\n2. <a id=\"art-2-p-2\"></a>The liquidity management policies and procedures shall ensure that adequate levels of reserve assets are maintained to meet requests for redemption by holders of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens at any moment, including under stress scenarios.\n3.  <a id=\"art-2-p-3\"></a>The liquidity management policies and procedures shall be proportionate to the complexity, risk profile and scope of operation of the issuers of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens.\n\n    The management bodies of the issuers of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens shall approve the liquidity management policies and procedures and shall set risk tolerance levels to each [asset-referenced token](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/mica/asset-referenced-token) or e-money token.\n\n    The liquidity management policies and procedures shall reflect the current and expected liquidity risks of issuers of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens.\n\n    The issuers of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens shall monitor those risks on an ongoing basis. That monitoring shall include the following:\\\n    <a id=\"art-2-p-3-a\"></a>a) identification of deposits with credit institutions, of the highly liquid financial instruments and of any other reserve assets;\\\n    <a id=\"art-2-p-3-b\"></a>b) the setting of the criteria to determine the market value of the reserve assets;\\\n    <a id=\"art-2-p-3-c\"></a>c) the assessment of concentration risk, creditworthiness and liquidity soundness, as well as the limits and time horizons of such risks, and the currencies’ consistency;\\\n    <a id=\"art-2-p-3-d\"></a>d) the techniques for ensuring the stability of the reserve of assets’ value with respect to the referenced assets.\\\\\n4. <a id=\"art-2-p-4\"></a>Issuers of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens shall establish arrangements for sound management of the intra-day liquidity risk. Those arrangements shall include the following:\\\n   <a id=\"art-2-p-4-a\"></a>a) the identification of the expected intra-day liquidity needs and resources;\\\n   <a id=\"art-2-p-4-b\"></a>b) the setting up of processes and procedures coherent with the profile of the [issuer](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/mica/issuer) of the asset-referenced token or e-money token and the contingent and expected market situation.\\\\\n5. <a id=\"art-2-p-5\"></a>Issuers of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens shall monitor their reserve assets to ensure that they are available to cover the value of the assets referenced by such tokens at all times, including during emergency situations, and shall assess the appropriateness of overcollateralisation, in particular where the assets referenced by the tokens are highly volatile or do not form part of the reserve of assets.\n6. <a id=\"art-2-p-6\"></a>Issuers of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens shall monitor, on a regular basis, the appointment of custodians of reserve assets as referred to in [Article 37](../../articles/37.md) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, the custody policies and the related contractual arrangements.\n7. <a id=\"art-2-p-7\"></a>Issuers of asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens shall have in place specific measures and shall establish internal limits to avoid concentration of the reserve of assets by a custodian.\n8. <a id=\"art-2-p-8\"></a>Issuers of asset-referenced tokens that reference at least one asset that is not an [official currency](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/mica/official-currency) shall establish processes and procedures to address risks arising from cases in which the reserve of assets are not composed by the assets referenced, including arrangements for managing risks arising from the use of derivative instruments or instruments tracking the referenced assets.\n\n","marks":[],"text_hash":"3f37a3b28727f6dbdc6af2539f1e5c2b19c01907aa1c60675704037486d858fd","revision":1}}
