In the rapidly evolving field of crypto-assets, white papers are essential documents for investor guidance, and are now subject to unprecedented content requirements under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR). Natural Language Processing can serve as a powerful tool for both analyzing these documents and assisting in regulatory compliance. This paper delivers two contributions to the topic. First, we survey existing applications of textual analysis to unregulated crypto-asset white papers, uncovering a research gap that could be bridged with interdisciplinary collaboration. We then conduct an analysis of the changes introduced by MiCAR, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of integrating NLP within the new regulatory framework. The findings set the stage for further research, with the potential to benefit regulators, crypto-asset issuers, and investors.
翻译:在快速发展的加密资产领域中,白皮书是指导投资者的关键文件,目前需符合欧盟《加密资产市场监管条例》(MiCAR)前所未有的内容要求。自然语言处理可作为分析此类文件与辅助合规的双重工具。本文在该领域做出两项贡献:首先,系统梳理了非监管环境下加密资产白皮书的文本分析应用现状,揭示了需通过跨学科合作弥合的研究空白;随后剖析了MiCAR引入的变革,重点阐释了将自然语言处理融入新监管框架的机遇与挑战。研究结论为后续探索奠定基础,有望惠及监管机构、加密资产发行方及投资者。
