最新报道:According to the news from the Coin World Network, European securities regulator ESMA warned cryptocurrency companies not to falsely advertise their MiCA regulatory status to avoid misleading investors. The European Securities and Markets Authority issued a warning to cryptocurrency companies on Friday, urging them not to use the regulated status under the EU MiCA framework as a promotional tool, which was initially reported by Reuters. The background is that the MiCA regulation is intended to protect investors by imposing strict regulations on how customer assets are protected and how complaints are handled. Under MiCA, companies providing cryptocurrency services must obtain a CASP license from national regulators to operate throughout the EU. "Some CASPs may even use their regulated status under MiCA as a marketing argument and encourage confusion between regulated and unregulated products and services," the regulator said. In short, ESMA said that some cryptocurrency companies may boast that they are MiCA regulated to attract customers, but at the same time, they offer other unregulated products. This may mislead people into thinking that all their products are safe and protected, but this is not the case. The warning from ESMA follows the recent publication of a peer review that criticized the Malta Financial Services Authority for its lax approach to granting cryptocurrency licenses. The review found that while Malta has the expertise and resources to oversee cryptocurrency firms, its authorization process only “partially” meets expected standards, raising concerns about regulatory consistency across the European Union.
