Reserve Requirements
Denmark applies the EU’s MiCA rules. For EMTs, funds received in exchange for the token must be safeguarded—kept in segregated accounts as deposits with credit institutions or invested in secure, low-risk, highly liquid assets—so holders can be repaid at par, with supervision by Finanstilsynet. For ARTs, issuers must maintain a reserve of assets calibrated for liquidity and quality, with detailed composition and liquidity standards set through EBA technical standards.
Auditing
Under MiCA, ART issuers must publish monthly information on tokens in circulation and reserve composition and obtain an independent audit of the reserve at least every six months; both EMT and ART issuers are subject to ongoing reporting and supervisory oversight by the national competent authority in Denmark.
Redemption Rights
EMT holders have a statutory right to redeem at par value at any time in the currency referenced by the token, and issuers must honour on-demand redemption under MiCA.
