What the term does and does not tell you
MiCA contains issuer and crypto-service requirements. It does not replace all other financial-services, money-laundering, payments or tax rules. Classify the activity and asset before deciding which part applies.

Record the actual entity, asset, service and date alongside the term. A label alone is not an eligibility decision or a complete description of legal rights.
