Under MiCA, utility tokens are not subject to regulatory approval or authorization. Instead, issuers must provide a publicly accessible whitepaper that meets disclosure standards, giving market participants a consistent basis for understanding the token’s design, risks, and intended use. By publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper, IoTeX ensures that partners integrating IOTX across Europe have a clear, harmonized set of rules to follow.
Raullen Chai, CEO and Co-Founder of IoTeX, said the milestone reflects the company’s commitment to responsible innovation. 
<blockquote>
 “MiCA sets a global precedent for digital-asset transparency. Publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper ensures that partners and marketplaces across Europe have a clear, harmonized framework for supporting IOTX. This reinforces IoTeX’s long-term commitment as we bring real-world devices, data, and intelligence onto blockchain infrastructure,”

he said.

The MiCA-aligned whitepaper is expected to facilitate IoTeX’s integration with European enterprises, government initiatives, and research programs developing decentralized energy networks, smart-city infrastructure, and AI agents that rely on verifiable, hardware-secured data. By meeting MiCA disclosure requirements, IOTX can now be incorporated into regulated platforms, enabling institutional custody, spot listings, and access for fintech and payment providers.
Jing Sun, Co-Founder of IoTeX, highlighted the strategic importance of Europe for the company. 
<blockquote>
 “Europe leads in digital trust, hardware security, and responsible AI, pillars that deeply align with IoTeX’s mission. By publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper, we can engage more effectively with EU partners building real-world applications on decentralized infrastructure,” 
</blockquote>
Sun said.
The announcement <a href="https://defi-planet.com/2025/10/iotex-launches-token-buyback-and-liquidity-partnerships-after-market-maker-glitch-on-binance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">follows</a> a recent token buyback initiative and new liquidity partnerships, following a temporary price malfunction on Binance that IoTeX attributed to a third-party market maker error rather than a protocol breach.&nbsp;
