Decubate & MiCAR: Ensuring Compliance and Security for Our Users

The crypto industry is evolving, and so are the regulations that shape it. With the introduction of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), all platforms offering crypto-asset services to EU users must secure a license to continue operating in the European market. At Decubate, we welcome this regulatory clarity and remain committed to full compliance while ensuring a seamless experience for our users.

What Is MiCAR and Why Does It Matter?

MiCAR is the European Union’s comprehensive framework for regulating crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). It aims to create a unified and secure market, protecting investors while fostering innovation. One key requirement is that all launchpads serving EU users must obtain a license to continue offering services like token sales and placements.

Decubate proactively applied for a MiCAR license in November 2024 and has worked closely with the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) to align our operations with the new regulations. The AFM has confirmed that Decubate can continue operating during the transition period, allowing us to maintain uninterrupted services while our license is being processed.

What This Means for Decubate Users

To ensure full compliance with MiCAR, Decubate is implementing the following measures:

No Action Required for Existing KYC-Verified Users
If you have completed your Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, you can continue using all Decubate services without interruption. Your access to Launchpad events and staking remains unchanged.

⚠️ KYC Deadline for New EU Users – February 12, 2025
To comply with MiCAR, new EU users must complete KYC verification before February 12, 2025, at 18:00 CET to continue accessing Launchpad services. If you haven't finished your KYC, please complete the process before the deadline to ensure uninterrupted access.

🔒 Staking Services Remain Fully Operational
Unlike some services requiring a license, Decubate’s staking program is unaffected by MiCAR and will continue operating for all users worldwide. Users can manage their staked DCB tokens without restriction, ensuring continued access to staking rewards.

Why MiCAR Compliance Matters

MiCAR represents a significant step forward for the crypto industry, offering greater security, transparency, and investor protection. Many platforms may struggle to meet these requirements, but Decubate is ahead of the curve, ensuring compliance while maintaining the same trusted experience for our users.

By aligning with MiCAR early, Decubate reinforces its position as a safe, compliant, and forward-thinking launchpad that prioritizes long-term security for entrepreneurs and investors.
