EBA joins ESMA’s fast-track Peer Review on CASP authorisation and supervision in Malta

It calls for heightened scrutiny of high-risk areas, including AML/CFT, business model viability, governance structures, ICT resilience (especially in relation to custody arrangements), and exposure to decentralised products. The conclusions are to be taken into account and integrated into ongoing supervisory work to ensure that CASP authorisations are robustly assessed and to support the role of national supervisors as gatekeepers to the EU single market.
