European Banking Authority Warns of Risks
The European Banking Authority has published a report highlighting the risks posed by crypto firms during the transitional period until 2026.
The regulator claims that crypto firms approved before MiCA pose a risk while operating until the end of the transitional period.
Attempts by some entities to circumvent regulatory requirements may continue, posing a risk of a significant and adverse impact on the integrity of the EU’s financial system.
- MiCA came into effect in late 2024, providing a unified set of rules for crypto asset providers in the 27-country economic bloc.
- The EBA warns of "forum shopping" as one of the risks during this period.
