The European Central Bank (European Central Bank) has formally supported a landmark proposal from the European Commission that would centralize supervision of major EU financial market participants—including crypto asset service providers (CASPs)—under the European Securities and Markets Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority, ESMA).
According to Reuters, the ECB stated in its April 9 opinion that it “fully supports” the initiative, describing it as an ambitious step toward deeper integration of EU capital markets.
What is changing?
If approved, the reform would shift oversight of large cross-border entities from national regulators to ESMA. This would include:
Major crypto asset service providers (CASPs)
Trading venues
Central counterparties
Central securities depositories
This marks a significant shift from the current MiCA framework, which only became fully applicable for CASPs at the end of 2024 and still relies heavily on national regulators as primary supervisors.
Why it matters
The ECB argues that large crypto firms can become “systemically relevant,” meaning their failure or mismanagement could pose risks to the broader financial system, including banks.
A more centralized structure, it says, could:
Reduce regulatory fragmentation across the EU
Improve financial market efficiency and liquidity
Strengthen monetary policy transmission within the euro area
Enhance overall financial stability
Growing tension between EU states
Despite ECB support, the proposal is already facing political resistance. Countries such as Ireland, Luxembourg, and Malta—key hubs for crypto licensing under MiCA—are concerned that shifting authority to ESMA in Paris could weaken national regulators and reduce their influence over financial activity within their jurisdictions.

As traditional finance continues its shift on-chain, security infrastructure is becoming just as critical as scalability and liquidity.
CredShields has officially joined Canton Network as an Audit Partner, marking another step toward building enterprise-grade security for institutional blockchain adoption.
Canton Network is designed specifically for institutional finance. It already supports over $8 trillion in monthly tokenized transaction volume and processes more than $350 billion in on-chain U.S. Treasury settlements daily, positioning itself as one of the most active real-world financial blockchain infrastructures.
Unlike typical public chains, Canton uses a configurable privacy architecture where participants control exactly what data is visible and to whom. While this enables compliance and institutional adoption, it also introduces a new layer of complexity for security auditing.
This is where CredShields steps in.
The firm specializes in full-stack blockchain security, including:
• Smart contract audits for Daml-based applications
• AI-powered risk detection systems
• Continuous monitoring for institutional-grade on-chain environments
Its role is to help ensure that real-world financial assets operating on-chain remain secure, compliant, and resilient against emerging threats.
Shashank highlighted the urgency of this shift, noting that institutional finance is moving on-chain faster than most realize, and that Canton is becoming a key layer of this transition.
The partnership reflects a broader industry trend:
• Blockchain is evolving from experimentation to infrastructure
• Institutional capital demands higher security standards
• Auditing and risk monitoring are becoming core layers of Web3 finance
Bottom line:
As trillions in value move on-chain, security is no longer optional—it is foundational.

Japan has taken a major step toward reshaping its crypto regulatory landscape.
The Cabinet has officially approved a bill that reclassifies cryptocurrencies as financial instruments under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, moving them away from their previous classification as simple payment tools.
This shift marks a significant upgrade in regulatory oversight and brings crypto assets closer to traditional financial markets.
Key changes under the new framework include:
Insider trading rules applied to crypto: Trading based on undisclosed material information will now be prohibited, similar to rules in stock markets.
Mandatory annual disclosures: Crypto issuers will be required to publish regular reports, improving transparency and investor access to project information.
Stronger enforcement against unregistered exchanges: Penalties will be increased to curb illegal or non-compliant operations.
Beyond tighter regulation, the move is widely seen as a signal of growing institutional acceptance of digital assets in Japan. Analysts expect the clearer legal framework could support the development of crypto ETFs in the coming years and attract more institutional capital.
By integrating crypto into its core financial regulations, Japan is positioning the sector as part of a more mature and transparent financial system rather than an unregulated frontier market.
