MiCA-Stablecoin-Reserve-Auditor

Real-Time Proof-of-Reserve & JIT Liquidity Stress Tester (EU MiCA Regulation EU 2023/1114 Title III/IV Standards)

---

Executive Summary: Navigating the EU MiCA Regulatory Shockwave

Under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation (EU 2023/1114), issuers of Asset-Referenced Tokens (ARTs) and E-Money Tokens (EMTs)—such as EURC, USDC, and other fiat-pegged stablecoins—face strict institutional operating constraints:

1. Mandatory Cash-at-Bank Ratios (Article 36 & 54):
   Issuers must hold at least 30% (Standard) or 60% (Significant) of all reserve assets in unencumbered cash deposits segregated across approved EU credit institutions.
2. Strict Counterparty Concentration Caps:
   No single credit institution may hold more than 40% of the total cash reserve, prohibiting concentration risk in vulnerable banks.
3. Mandatory Liquidity Stress Testing:
   Issuers must continuously simulate extreme liquidity crises, including a 30% single-day bank-run, verifying that par 1:1 redemptions can be fulfilled over SEPA Instant / TARGET2 without secondary fire-sale insolvency.
4. Verifiable Proof-of-Reserve (PoR):
   Regulators and exchanges require continuous solvency proofs ($Assets \ge Liabilities$) without leaking sensitive custodian bank account details.

mica-stablecoin-reserve-auditor is a high-assurance, zero-dependency Python implementation of an automated reserve segregation auditor, bank-run stress tester, and blinded Proof-of-Reserve engine, Merkle-sealing compliance filings to the a2zsoc.com Sovereign Evidence Vault.
