100 Days Until MiCA & DORA — The Compliance Clock Is Ticking
On July 17, 2026, both the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) reach full enforcement across the European Union. For financial institutions, crypto asset service providers, and their legal advisors, 100 days is not a lot of time.

Two Regulations, One Deadline
MiCA and DORA are distinct regulations, but they share a critical property: both demand evidence, not just documentation. A compliance checklist in a spreadsheet will not satisfy a BaFin auditor in 2026. What will satisfy them: timestamped, signed, independently verifiable data that proves your assessment was correct at the time you made it.
Markets in Crypto-Assets
Governs stablecoins (EMT/ART), crypto asset service providers (CASPs), and token issuers. Requires ongoing reserve monitoring, peg stability, governance documentation, and authorization through national competent authorities.
Digital Operational Resilience
Applies to all EU financial entities: banks, insurers, investment firms, payment providers. Requires ICT risk management, incident reporting within 4 hours, third-party risk assessments, and resilience testing.

DORA: What Financial Institutions Must Prove
DORA is not optional. It applies to every regulated financial entity in the EU. The regulation is structured around four pillars, each requiring documented, auditable evidence:
- 1ICT Risk Management (Art. 5–16) — Documented risk framework, regular assessments, board-level reporting. Not a checkbox — a living system.
- 2Incident Reporting (Art. 17–23) — Major ICT incidents must be classified and reported within 4 hours. Intermediate report within 72 hours. Final report within 1 month.
- 3Resilience Testing (Art. 24–27) — Annual basic testing for all entities. Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) every 3 years for significant institutions.
- 4Third-Party Risk (Art. 28–44) — Every ICT service provider contract must be assessed, documented, and monitored. Register of Information mandatory.
The Evidence Problem
Most organizations still approach compliance with PDFs and spreadsheets. An analyst downloads data from a website, pastes it into Excel, and files the result. Six months later, a BaFin auditor asks: "Can you prove this data was correct when you made your decision?"
The answer, in most cases, is no. The website has updated. The PDF was overwritten. The spreadsheet has no audit trail. There is no timestamp, no signature, no way to independently verify anything.
This is what FeedOracle solves.
How FeedOracle Works
Every API response from FeedOracle carries four layers of evidence:
2. SHA-256 content hash — tamper detection for every data point
3. ISO 8601 timestamp — exact moment of data retrieval
4. On-chain anchor — XRPL transaction hash for permanent record
verify: feedoracle.io/.well-known/jwks.json → independent verification
result: six months later, prove exactly what data you had, when, untampered.
