[The EU plans to bring cryptocurrency companies under ESMA regulation, aiming to launch capital market integration reforms in 2027] BlockBeats News, December 9, EU Commissioner for Financial Services, Mairead McGuinness, stated on Tuesday that the EU hopes to begin implementing its comprehensive capital market integration reform package by 2027, providing a timeline for the reform for the first time. The new proposal still requires approval from the European Parliament and the EU Council, while some member states strongly oppose it. Centralized regulatory authority will bring key clearinghouses, central securities depositories, and trading platforms under ESMA's jurisdiction, and cryptocurrency companies will also be regulated by ESMA.
