EU Supervisory Authorities warn consumers of risks and limited protection for certain crypto-assets and providers
Press Release
The European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA – the ESAs) today issued a warning to consumers that crypto-assets can be risky and that legal protection, if any, may be limited depending on which crypto-assets they invest in. This warning is accompanied by a factsheet explaining what the new EU regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) means for consumers. The ESAs recommend concrete steps consumers can take to make informed decisions before investing in crypto-assets such as checking if the provider is authorised in the EU.
