Regulatory Update Drives Uniform Supervisory Practices

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has officially incorporated several guidelines from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) that impact crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). With this initiative, CySEC’s circular outlines detailed expectations regarding transfer services, reverse solicitation, and portfolio management activities related to crypto-assets.

Clear Directives For Transfer Services

Issued on February 26, 2025, the ESMA guidelines on transfer services are grounded in Article 82(2) of MiCA. They are designed to instill consistency and efficiency within the European financial supervision system while reinforcing a uniform approach to applying MiCA’s provisions. Furthermore, the guidelines delineate robust procedures and client rights measures intended to heighten investor protection for CASPs involved in transferring crypto-assets.

Enhanced Transparency In Reverse Solicitation

CySEC also highlighted ESMA’s guidelines on reverse solicitation, introduced on December 17, 2024. Although these guidelines primarily target competent authorities, they serve as a critical reference for both existing and prospective CASPs. The circular draws attention to specific paragraphs and illustrative examples that elucidate circumstances under which a third-country firm might be deemed to be soliciting clients within the European Union.

Standardizing Portfolio Management Requirements

The third set of guidelines, released on March 26, 2025, addresses portfolio management activities. Based on Article 81(15) of MiCA, these standards require CASPs to adhere to defined requirements regarding the suitability of crypto-asset advice and the formatting of periodic statements. This move is aimed at fostering consistent application of several MiCA provisions, thereby ensuring that supervisory practices remain effective across the board.

Implementation Timeline And Executive Endorsement

All three sets of guidelines will take effect 60 calendar days following their publication on ESMA’s website in all official EU languages. The endorsement of these measures by CySEC Chairman George Theocharides underscores the sector’s commitment to transparency, regulatory coherence, and enhanced investor protection in the rapidly evolving crypto market.

Elevating Infant Nutrition: Nara Organics Unveils Premium Organic Formula

July 30, 2025

The Origins Of A Vision

When Esther Hallam welcomed her daughter Nara into the world, she immediately confronted a formidable challenge: identifying a trustworthy, high-quality organic infant formula. In a U.S. market dominated by cost-cutting practices—such as the use of skim milk supplemented with oils to meet nutritional standards—Hallam observed a disconnect between established availability and uncompromised quality. Research linking corn syrup to obesity and palm oil to reduced calcium absorption only reinforced her resolve to seek a safer alternative.

Redefining Industry Standards

Frustrated by the limitations of existing options, Hallam devoted seven years to developing an organic, whole-milk formula with the expertise of leading scientists and pediatric nutritionists. Nara Organics distinguishes itself by offering the highest percentage of milk fat of any formula on the U.S. market and a significantly reduced reliance on plant-based oils. The carefully selected blend of organic sunflower, coconut, and rapeseed oils not only meets nutritional needs but also minimizes potential health risks inherent to additives like palm oil, soy, and corn syrup.

Manufacturing Excellence In Germany

Rather than manufacturing domestically—a decision influenced by previous concerns over Cronobacter contamination in American facilities—Nara Organics leverages the advanced, oxygen-controlled production environment of a German facility, widely regarded as the birthplace of powdered infant formula. Chief Marketing Officer Meika Hollender detailed that their unique manufacturing process, which minimizes oxygen exposure during can sealing, substantially extends shelf life and preserves formula integrity, setting a new standard in infant nutrition.

Strategic Investment And Market Impact

Backed by $32 million from prominent investors including AlleyCorp, BBG Ventures, Corazon Ventures, Gingerbread Capital, and Torch Capital, Nara Organics has also garnered support from high-profile celebrity investors such as Serena Williams, Gina Rodriguez, and Nicky Hilton. This robust investment positions the company at the vanguard of an organic infant formula market projected to grow from $20.7 billion in 2023 to $37 billion by 2032.

Enhancing Consumer Accessibility And Community Commitment

Nara Organics is available for purchase directly via its website, subscription models, and a dedicated mobile app that assists parents in tracking essential aspects of infant care. To underscore its commitment to community well-being, the company is donating over 1,400 cans of formula to the Good+ Foundation, which strives to alleviate multi-generational poverty by providing essential services to under-resourced families.

By merging state-of-the-art production with a commitment to organic, high-quality ingredients, Nara Organics is poised to redefine the benchmarks of infant nutrition in a competitive, evolving market.
