ESMA to prioritize EU-wide AI and tokenization supervision in 2027
60-second summary
ESMA announces it will prioritize EU‑wide supervision of artificial‑intelligence tools and tokenisation by 2027, directing national regulators to map client‑facing applications, audit a selected sample of firms and create harmonised oversight frameworks; this coordinated approach aims to reduce regulatory fragmentation, boost investor confidence and foster a more stable, innovative digital‑asset market across Europe.
National regulators will map client-facing uses of the technologies, check a subset of firms and develop common approaches to oversight.
