*In force · Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, OJ L 150, 9.6.2023 · Verified 9 Nov 2026 · [Official source](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1114/oj/eng)*

Where an [offer to the public](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/mica/offer-to-the-public) concerns [utility tokens](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/mica/utility-token) for goods that do not yet exist or services that are not yet in operation, the duration of the offer to the public as described in the crypto-asset white paper should not exceed 12 months. That limitation on the duration of the offer to the public is unrelated to the moment when the goods or services come into existence or become operational and can be used by the holder of a [utility token](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/mica/utility-token) after the expiry of the offer to the public.
