Euronext supports the Commission’s approach to develop and promote the use of blockchain (i.e. Distributed Ledger Technology - DLT) whilst addressing any risks this new technology may pose. In line with the Commission’s objectives, we believe that clarifications to the current EU regulatory framework should be prioritised to accommodate the new emerging activities emanating from the crypto-asset sector. In so doing, it will be essential to find a balance between encouraging the emergence of innovative offerings, whilst maintaining and safeguarding investor protection.
Euronext sets out its proposal for an EU framework for crypto-assets in the document below, following the Commission’s consultation on the topic.
