MERC Token Meets EU Trading Requirements After Liquid Mercury's MiCA Disclosure
Summary
Liquid Mercury announced its MERC crypto-asset white paper has been added to the ESMA MiCA register, fulfilling key disclosure requirements. The move makes the MERC token eligible for admission to trading on regulated platforms across the European Union.
Chicago-based Liquid Mercury announced on Wednesday that its white paper for the MERC crypto-asset has been submitted to the Central Bank of Ireland and officially added to the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) MiCA white paper register. The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation is the European Union's comprehensive framework governing crypto-asset offerings, trading admissions, and market integrity.
Inclusion in the ESMA register signifies that MERC now meets the disclosure prerequisites under MiCA. This allows the token to be offered to the public or admitted for trading on regulated venues throughout the EU and the broader European Economic Area (EEA).
Tony Saliba, CEO and founder of Liquid Mercury, stated that the disclosure formalizes the company's commitment to transparency. "With the white paper in the ESMA register, MERC has the regulatory grounding we need to keep pursuing listings, deeper liquidity, and broader access across the EU and beyond," Saliba said.
AdLiquid Mercury provides trading infrastructure for professional crypto traders and digital asset marketplaces. The company is also expanding into tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), such as sports investments, where the MERC token functions as a platform token.
