EU regulator to check operational resilience of crypto custodians - ForkLog
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has launched a review programme for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), with a particular focus on custody services.
Under the initiative, national competent authorities will assess how firms manage operational risks when holding cryptocurrencies. The focus is on the digital operational resilience of custodians.
The regulator will pay special attention to risks related to distributed ledger technology. ESMA will examine how CASPs have set up:
The review will be carried out using a risk-based sample of authorised CASPs. The timeframe is from the second half of 2026 to the first half of 2027.
After the programme is completed, ESMA will compile the results into a final report and submit it to the supervisory authorities’ council.
Recall that on 1 July, the transitional period for crypto platforms under the MiCA regulation expired in the EU. The European Parliament has already approved its official position on further expanding regulation of the industry, including DeFi, lending, staking and NFTs.
