MUNICH, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital asset technology developer Apertum Holding Ltd. has retained Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP to challenge a warning issued by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) concerning Apertum's DAO1 decentralized platform.
BaFin's warning alleges that DAO1 is operating without proper authorization under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on markets in crypto-assets (MiCAR). Apertum/DAO1's position is that no basis exists for the warning. On behalf of the company, Quinn Emanuel is engaging with BaFin regarding the scope of the authorization requirement under MiCAR. Apertum is committed to defending its position, securing its interests, and providing transformative technology to users in compliance with applicable laws in the jurisdictions where it operates.
In July, Quinn Emanuel successfully challenged a cease-and-desist order issued to Apertum by the Texas State Securities Board, resulting in the dismissal of that case.
