最新报道:According to a report by Cryptonews on October 6th, citing the Financial Times, the European Commission is considering a comprehensive reform that would grant the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's markets regulator, direct supervisory authority over stock exchanges, cryptocurrency companies, and clearing houses. ESMA Chairperson Verena Ross stated that this move aims to address the long-standing fragmentation in EU financial markets and create a more integrated and globally competitive capital market. Currently, the supervision of crypto asset service providers (CASPs) rests primarily with member states under the MiCA framework, but ESMA considers this decentralized regulation inefficient and weakens consumer protection. However, the proposal has drawn opposition from smaller countries such as Luxembourg and Malta, who warn that centralized authority could harm their local financial sectors.
