What happened
- The article states that the Article 5f(2) obligation runs 36 months from entry into force of the implementing acts, with no date in the text.
Why it matters to Signicat
- The article frames wallet acceptance as a reactive, narrower duty, which may reduce perceived urgency for relying parties evaluating Signicat's Wallet Hub.
- The article advises clients to defer integration, a stance that competes with readiness-led pitches including Signicat's.
