Last week, the European Commission announced plans to enhance the supervisory and enforcement powers of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) as part of efforts to integrate fragmented capital markets. The proposal requires approval from the European Parliament and the EU Council, with some member states expressing strong opposition. Centralizing regulatory authority would bring key clearinghouses, central securities depositories, and trading platforms under ESMA's jurisdiction, including cryptocurrency companies. Additionally, the EU has pledged to conduct a comprehensive review of banking regulatory rules by the end of next year. The European Central Bank is set to unveil proposals for simplified bank regulation on Thursday, which will be incorporated into the EU Commission's broader reform efforts.
