Dutch regulators say national law blocks native securities tokenisation

The AFM and DNB publish a joint exploratory study on securities tokenisation in the Netherlands, concluding that current Dutch law offers no basis for fully native tokens and forcing firms into hybrid dual-registration arrangements. This segment covers what the regulators found, what they are asking government to do, and why Dutch market infrastructure choices may migrate elsewhere.

  • AFM and DNB find Dutch law gives no basis for securities issued, held and transferred exclusively as tokens; native tokenisation is not currently possible.
  • Hybrid dual registration alongside DLT limits efficiency gains and creates uncertainty over the legal significance of the token record.
  • The regulators call for a government-led follow-up aligned with European initiatives, using specific use cases to decide whether to clarify or amend rules.

  • CSSF flags fraudulent website www.arche-associes-lu.com reusing the former name "Arche Associés S.A." of investment firm CORIENT S.A.
  • The scheme claims a registered office at 37 b A, Avenue JF Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg, and is classified as identity theft and illicit activities.

ECB's Lane ties US-led AI boom to tighter euro area financial conditions

Philip Lane uses dinner remarks at an AI summit to set out five reasons the ECB is tracking AI, and the one that matters for policy is not productivity. He argues a global AI investment boom Europe does not share is pushing up long-term rates and importing a tightening of euro area financial conditions, while equity and debt valuations pose stability risks.

  • Firms are set to devote around 10% of total investment to AI this year, with AI-related lending accounting for roughly a quarter of recent credit growth to firms.
  • 64% of firms report experimental or moderate AI use and 7% significant use; worker usage reached 52% in 2026 versus 26% in 2024.
  • Lane said the global AI boom is lifting long-term rates, a material tightening of euro area financial conditions relevant to the ECB's policy stance.

ESAs name DORA oversight, AI and private credit among 2027 joint priorities

The three European Supervisory Authorities have published their Joint Committee work programme for 2027. It signals where cross-sectoral supervisory attention will fall next year: critical ICT third-party oversight under DORA, the implications of AI, consumer protection, sustainable finance and securitisation. This is the forward map of coordinated EU supervision, and the point at which firms can see which shared files the three authorities intend to push together.

  • The Joint Committee of the EBA, EIOPA and ESMA published its Annual Work Programme for 2027 on 13 October 2026.
  • Priorities include digital operational resilience under DORA, AI and technological innovation, consumer protection, sustainable finance and securitisation.
  • The programme aligns with the Commission's Savings and Investment Union objectives and a simplification agenda to reduce regulatory burden.

FMA to enforce ESMA's three-month deadline on CASP services tied to non-MiCAR stablecoins

ESMA issued an Opinion on 8 October 2026 telling MiCAR-authorised CASPs to stop offering services linked to stablecoins that do not comply with MiCAR. Austria's FMA has confirmed it will apply those expectations in supervision and police a remediation deadline. This segment covers who is bound, what services are caught, and the clock that is now running.

  • ESMA published its Opinion on non-MiCAR-compliant ARTs and EMTs on 8 October 2026; the FMA will apply it in supervision.
  • MiCAR-authorised CASPs should not provide any covered service linked to non-compliant stablecoins to EU clients, standalone or combined.
  • Existing positions must be remediated as quickly as possible, no later than three months from the Opinion's publication date.

ECB tightens collateral rules, moving to second-best ratings for private assets from November

The ECB has published amendments to its monetary policy implementation and haircut guidelines, consolidating four separately announced decisions into binding form effective 30 November 2026. The changes touch how private sector collateral is rated, how haircuts are calibrated, and which COVID-era instruments remain eligible. Treasury and collateral teams at euro area banks need to know what posts, at what haircut, from when.

  • Second-best external rating replaces first-best for private sector collateral from 30 November 2026; euro area public sector assets retain the first-best rule.
  • Haircut schedule updated, refining own-used or retained assets and adding granularity to individual credit claims by amortisation type.
  • COVID-19 guaranteed credit claims eligible only until end-2026; NFC financial subsidiaries reassigned to haircut category III.

ECB's Cipollone sets 2029 digital euro target as trilogue nears deadline

Piero Cipollone laid out the ECB's full digital money strategy: a retail digital euro moving through trilogue, and the wholesale Pontes and Appia initiatives for tokenised settlement. The speech matters for the fresh financial-stability modelling on holding limits and for the concrete 2027 pilot and 2029 issuance timeline banks now need to plan against.

  • ECB aims for potential first digital euro issuance in 2029 if legislation concludes by end-2026; trilogue is under way with a Council push to finish this year.
  • Modelling of 2,025 banks shows holding limits up to €3,000 leave aggregate LCR at 163% and project a €127bn deposit inflow by 2034 under business-as-usual.
  • Pontes launched 21 September to settle tokenised transactions in central bank money, full implementation mid-2028; Appia blueprint targeted for 2028.

ESMA tells MiCA-licensed crypto firms to stop serving non-compliant stablecoins

ESMA has issued an opinion drawing a hard line around stablecoins that do not meet MiCA. It tells authorised crypto-asset service providers to cease offering any MiCA service connected to non-compliant asset-referenced and e-money tokens, and directs national regulators to enforce controls and clear legacy exposures within three months. This segment covers what binds, the carve-outs, and the compliance clock.

  • Authorised CASPs must cease all MiCA services linked to non-MiCA-compliant ARTs and EMTs for EU clients.
  • NCAs must require remediation of pre-existing exposures within three months of the 8 October 2026 opinion.
  • Residual activity is confined to liquidation, conversion, withdrawal, transfer or safekeeping, time-limited and supervised.

SRB flags resolution gaps for stablecoins in response to Commission's MiCA review

The Single Resolution Board has told the European Commission that the current MiCA framework leaves resolution authorities short of tools and information when stablecoin activity threatens credit institutions. This segment covers what the SRB is asking for, the four bank roles it has identified, and why the interaction between MiCA and the EU resolution rulebook is now on the table.

  • SRB says non-credit stablecoin issuers lack a dedicated resolution regime for systemic activity, beyond some supervisory and recovery measures.
  • It wants data-sharing, supervisor-resolution coordination and alignment of MiCA with BRRD and SRMR on reserves, segregation and depositor protection.
  • The response focuses on credit institutions as token issuers and as institutions funded by issuers and crypto-asset service providers.
