Together with the European Supervisory Agencies, the European Central Bank and the FSB, the European Commission will continue monitoring the developments in this subject area. Considering the risks associated with the digital assets transactions and the appropriateness of the regulatory framework, the European Commission will assess, by the fourth quarter of 2018, at what extend a regulatory action on an EU level is necessary. In this context, last month the European Supervisory Agencies – EBA, ESMA and EIOPA – issued a coordinated warning to the consumers about the high risk of investment in virtual currencies associated with uncertainty in the regulation and their extreme volatility.3 This notification followed the alerts issued in November 2017 by ESMA to investors concerning the high risk of investing in ICOs and on the rules applicable to firms involved in ICOs.4 Additional aspects to consider when analysing digital assets include the impact of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entering into force in May 2018,5 the eIDAS Regulation6 and the recent proposal to extend the scope of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive to virtual currency exchanges and wallet providers.7 Finally, a further step forward in the regulation of digital assets and ICOs was taken outside the EU with the publication of the ICO Guidelines by FINMA (the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority) on February 16, 2018. The document complements the FINMA Guidance 04/2017 and provides further information and clarification on how the authority aims to employ the financial markets legislation by dealing with ICO organisers.8 Footnotes 1) FinTech Action Plan: For a more competitive and innovative European financial sector 2) Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on European Crowdfunding Service Providers (ECSP) for Business 3) ESMA, EBA and EIOPA warn consumers on the risks of Virtual Currencies 4) ESMA Highlights ICO Risks for Investors and Firms 5) Regulation (EU) No. 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) 6) Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive 1999/93/EC 7) Directive (EU) No. 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering and terrorist financing 8) FINMA publishes ICO guidelines Information about the use of XBRL for better access to financial and non-financial data for global investors: The European Financial Transparency Gateway, is a proof of concept index for financial reporting being developed by the European Commission’s DG FISMA
