Mars Finance reports that the European Commission plans to transfer regulatory authority over cryptocurrency companies to the EU’s market regulator as part of a package of measures for the “comprehensive integration” of financial markets. The European Commission stated that bringing crypto regulation under the jurisdiction of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) would make supervision more effective and benefit cross-border activities. This move aims to address the fragmentation caused by regulatory differences among the 27 member states. Previously, individual national regulators, including France’s AMF, Austria’s FMA, and Italy’s Consob, had raised concerns about the implementation of MiCA and requested that ESMA strengthen its control. The proposal still needs to be negotiated and approved by the European Parliament and the European Council.
