IOTA Foundation launches a Regulatory Affairs hub to support MiCA compliance, provide regulatory resources, and engage with policymakers.
The IOTA token price declined 8.5% over the past week and traded at $0.06409 at press time, down 9%.

The IOTA Foundation has introduced a Regulatory Affairs hub to support compliance and policy involvement for projects building on its network. The hub explains how the Foundation works with regulators, supplies regulatory materials, and participates in consultations and industry working groups. The project adheres to the European Union Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation framework and the region’s overall roadmap on providing legal clarity for the industry.

The Regulatory Affairs page provides details on how IOTA is addressing compliance, including access to certificates, technical documentation, and MiCA-relevant materials for builders, exchanges, and ecosystem partners. According to the Foundation, it has a compliant-by-design structure, and its documentation is made publicly available to enhance transparency.

Some of the published content includes the IOTA Technical and Tokenomics Paper that describes the network’s Delegated Proof-of-Stake architecture. It outlines how network security correlates with user rewards as it mints up to 767,000 IOTA tokens each day. It also discusses a fee-burning mechanism, aimed at countering token inflation. In addition, the website provides access to a Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute report that includes MiCA data on climate and environmental metrics related to IOTA’s consensus mechanism.

IOTA Expands Sustainability and Policy Collaboration

The foundation, as we reported, has also introduced a Sustainability page that outlines its energy-efficient design and environmental reporting standards. The page includes sustainability metrics prepared in coordination with the Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute to enable crypto-asset service providers and other stakeholders to adhere to disclosure requirements. These disclosures align with MiCA indicators covering environmental and climate-related data.

Beyond documentation, the IOTA Foundation continues to participate in policy discussions and industry partnerships. As CNF reported, IOTA partnered with Teesside University to deploy the Trade Worldwide Information Network digital trade solution. The collaboration expands the United Kingdom government’s pilots on digitizing cross-border trade and improving supply chain data sharing.

Concurrently, as we reported late last week, the foundation has also formed a new expert advisory board to support the development of its Trade Worldwide Information Network infrastructure. According to the organization, the board will contribute industry experience to strengthen governance and operational frameworks for digital trade systems built on IOTA technology.

Community development initiatives have also remained active, as CNF reported. The MasterZ × IOTA Hackathon has brought together 63 teams from across Europe to build decentralized infrastructure solutions. Participating teams submitted product concepts, technical architectures, and integration plans that incorporate digital identity, notarization, hierarchies, and tokenization features. 

Despite these announcements, the IOTA token has failed to recover after recording an 8.5% decline over the past week. At press time, it was trading at $0.06409, a 9% decline from the intraday high.
