Following a complaint asserting Apertum Foundation’s APTM token isn’t MiCA compliant, BitMart has restricted trading activity in Lithuania.
Here at BehindMLM we typically only see MiCA cited in
Ponzi exit-scams
. While it has nothing to do with fraudulent MLM investment schemes per say, MiCA is an
actual European law that applies to crypto assets
.
The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) institutes uniform EU market rules for crypto-assets.
The regulation covers crypto-assets that are not currently regulated by existing financial services legislation.
Key provisions for those issuing and trading crypto-assets (including asset-reference tokens and e-money tokens) cover transparency, disclosure, authorisation and supervision of transactions.
The new legal framework will support market integrity and financial stability by regulating public offers of crypto-assets and by ensuring consumers are better informed about their associated risks.
APTM is a “crypto-asset” token used to defraud consumers through
DAO1
, an unregistered MLM investment scheme (ref regulatory warnings from
Australia
and
New Zealand
).
Both Apertum Foundation and DAO1 are effectively owned by Josip Heit.
Seeking clarification on “possible [MiCA] infringements” related to APTM trading, a BehindMLM reader filed a complaint with the Bank of Lithuania.
Following an internal investigation, the Bank of Lithuania appears to have confirmed MiCA violations and taken action to prevent APTM trading in Lithuania.
Presently, CoinMarketCap lists four exchanges APTM is traded on; MEXC, BitMart (dba UAB GBM Global), LBank (dba UAB LBank Exchange) and P2B (dba UAB Partida).
P2B is credited with processing 75.48% of APTM trading volume.
Today there is no mention of UAB Partida on P2B’s website. Partida is however still cited as the company’s name in P2B’s website linked privacy policy:
Up until very recently P2B hung its legitimacy on UAB Partida (aka Partida Services) in Lithuania:
Possibly related to increased regulatory scrutiny (the British Columbia Securities Commission issued a
P2B investor warning
in late 2023), P2B now cites a slew of associated shell companies in its website Terms of Use;
