Initiative summary:
The overall objective of the initiative is to provide clarity as concerns the applicability of the EU financial services legislation to crypto-assets (and related activities) and to ensure that the regulatory framework adequately addresses the risks inherent to these assets and related services. The aim is to find a proportionate approach to these objectives without creating undue regulatory obstacles. This will facilitate competition and support further innovation.
