The EBA is finalising its draft RTS on the criteria to appoint a central contact point for CASPs

Between 4 December 2024 and 4 February 2025, we publicly consulted on amendments to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1108. We proposed to extend its scope to crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). The draft RTS specifies the criteria for CASPs to appoint a central contact point to ensure compliance with the host Member State’s AML/CFT obligations. A public hearing was held 16 January.

We are now reviewing the responses and feedback received. The final draft RTS is expected to be published in Q2 2025.
