EU Securities Watchdog Puts AI and Tokenization on Supervisors' Agenda for 2027
The initiative will map firms’ use of AI and tokenized products and run initial checks on the most affected firms, the watchdog said.
- Starting in 2027, ESMA will make artificial intelligence and tokenization a new supervisory priority, examining how regulated firms use these technologies in core activities rather than back-office operations.
- Firms are increasingly using artificial intelligence and tokenized products to gain market share, the Markets Authority said in a report released Wednesday, explaining why it is focusing on these areas initially.
- 'Innovation with investor safeguards' will focus on building regulators' ability to supervise new technology while ensuring firms have proper governance, reliable data, and client-aligned outcomes.
- Recently, the European Central Bank announced several moves in tokenization, including investing reserves in tokenized securities and debuting its Pontes platform connecting DLT infrastructure to traditional payment systems.
- With the shift from MiCA, the European Union is examining how tokenized finance and artificial intelligence impact the broader securities industry, marking a regulatory evolution beyond crypto-asset rules.
