Could you please elaborate on the classification of cryptocurrency? I'm curious to know how they are categorized and what the various types are. Is there a standard way of classifying them? And what factors are taken into account when assigning a cryptocurrency to a particular category? It would be helpful if you could provide some examples of each type to illustrate the concept further. Additionally, I'm also interested in knowing whether there are any changes in classification as cryptocurrencies evolve over time.

MiCAR's categorization approach divides crypto-assets into three distinct categories. Firstly, we have asset reference tokens (ART), which represent a claim on or entitlement to receive an asset or cash. These tokens typically serve as digital representations of traditional financial assets.

Secondly, e-money tokens (EMT) fall into the category of crypto-assets that are intended to be used as a means of payment. These tokens are designed to function as digital currencies, facilitating transactions and enabling individuals to conduct financial activities seamlessly.

Beyond these two categories, there are crypto-assets that do not fit neatly into either ART or EMT. These include utility tokens, which offer access to a specific product or service rather than representing ownership or entitlement to cash.
