The European Securities and Markets Authority has shifted its 2027 focus towards supervising crypto firms under MiCA.
The regulator will deepen cooperation with national authorities on crypto-asset service providers across the EU.
“ESMA is already advancing on key elements of the SIU agenda,” according to ESMA Chair Verena Ross.
ESMA will also advance work on crypto-assets and artificial intelligence across financial markets.
“This work programme reflects ESMA's commitment to strengthening the Single Market,” Ross said.
The regulator will expand its Data Platform and deploy AI-based tools for supervision.
ESMA will also support T+1 settlement, the European Single Access Point and regulatory simplification initiatives.
The programme shifts ESMA’s focus towards supervision, convergence and delivery across EU financial markets.
